rn uses a shell script called Pnews to post. It has info on the distribution
(usa, na, local, md, dc, whatever), and newsgroup the original article had.
You could add any sort of checking (number of logins, days since account
was opened, name in a speical file) you wanted.
(I don't know if theis is the best way, but it seems like it would work!)
