After I've read this message, I've started thinking a bit. And I've
solved the problem. I've read the rnews manual and I've found that rnews
gets message from stdin if no input was given. I've remembered that the
mailpost script gives the tmpfile to the $inn::inews command. So I've
had to change 2 lines in mailpost and now works...

The 2 lines:

my $Submit =3D "/usr/bin/rnews";  #$inn::inews . " -S -h";
my $WhereTo =3D $Submit; #$opt_o || $Submit ;

And here transfers the message:

if (!open INEWS, "$WhereTo < $tmpfile 2>&1 |") {
    mailArtAndDie ("cant start: $WhereTo: $!") ;
}

So thanks a lot... Or if anyone has a much more simple solution, please
send me.=20
