It was easier than I thought. It only took about a half hour to write
my own 'inews' utility that I can tell slrn to use for posting
articles. It looks at the article and decides based on the destination
whether to use NNTP or SMTP to send it (and then sends it using the
appropriate protocol).

It's a total of 50 lines of Python (including logging stuff to
syslog).

This is my first "real" post using it, so hopefully this shows up with
proper headers.
