For every message that your local innd receives an entry is written to
a so called outgoing file which contains the filename and the message
id of this article.

These files are stored in /var/spool/news/out.going and are used by
rpost to post the articles to your providers news server.

You need to enter the same name in get-news.conf as in your newsfeeds
file from inn.  For example, my newsfeeds contains the following line:

        remotehost/news.bln.de:*:Ap,Tf,Wnm:remotehost

So a reference to every message written by myself will be stored in
/var/spool/news/out.going and rpost needs to know the name of this
file, so my get-news.conf contains:

  server: localhost
  remoteserver: news.bln.de
  outgoingfile: remotehost
  sedcmd: /^NNTP-Posting-Host:\|^Xref:/d

This configuration file will be used by the /usr/sbin/get-news and
.../put-news script.
