Nothing much documentation yet.  Full documentation will come in a future
release.

Basically run the qnews-config.sh script to set up the config files.  You
should put the qmail.py script in your path (though it's not a requirement).

After you config, you can run "qnews.py check" to check newsgroups and email
them to your email address.  It's best to put this in your crontab.

To post to a newsgroup you can, for example, send an email to 
joeuser-qnews-alt.test@domain.com.  QNews will take the email and post
it as an article to alt.test.

QNews also has the beginnings of remote management, you can send email to
joeuser-qnews-subscribe@domain.com to subscribe, or 
joeuser-qnews-unsubscribe@domain.com to unsubscribe newsgroups.  The list of
newsgroups should be in the body of the message, one per line.  To get a list
of subscribed groups, send email to joeuser-qnews-list@domain.com.

There is not yet much security built into qnews.  It does not use email-based
confirmation on posts or subscription changes. The default configuration name 
is "qnews", but using another name is more secure.
