SEND-UUCP(8)
NAME
  send-uucp, send-nntp, send-ihave - send Usenet articles to remote site

SYNOPSIS
  { send-nntp | send-ihave } [ -d ] sitename:hostname | sitename [
  sitename:hostname | sitename .. ]

DESCRIPTION
  The send-* utilities are scripts that process the batch files written by
  innd(8) to send Usenet articles to a remote NNTP site.

  The sites to be fed may be specified by giving sitename hostname pairs on
  the command line.

  The sitename is the label the site has in the newsfeeds file, the hostname
  is the real hostname of the remote site, a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain
  Name).  Normally, the sitename and the hostname are the same, and as such
  don't have to be specified as sitename:hostname pairs but just as a
  sitename.

  send-nntp starts an innxmit to send the articles to the remote site.

  send-ihave encapsulates the articles in an ihave control message and uses
  inews to send the articles to a to.sitename pseudo-group. Using send-ihave
  is discouraged, nobody uses it anymore and even the author of this manpage
  is unsure as to how it actually works or used to work.

  send-* expect that the batchfile for a site is named
  <pathoutgoing in inn.conf>/sitename.	To prevent batchfile corruption,
  shlock(1) is used to ``lock'' these files.

OPTIONS
  -d   The ``-d'' flag causes nntpsend to send output to stdout rather than
       the log file <pathlog in inn.conf>/<program-name>.log.

NOTES
  You should probably not use send-nntp, but innfeed, or if that is not
  possible, nntpsend.

  The usual flags for a batch file for send-nntp are ``Tf,Wfm''.
