Steve, I'm a UUCP only site. 1st thing is to get the UUCP package configured
and "up & running" before tackling news. I use "inn" for my news distribution.
That package takes some attention to detail to get configured correctly.
For mail distribution, I use Smail. It's easier to get configured than "sendmail".
Drop me some private mail if you need more help.
