   news articles are not written to any specific individual... news articles are

   JAMNNTPd is the *only* news server that has this capability... the client   
   doesn't matter... as i understand it, the capability only works for replies   
   and not for new posts but i may be wrong about that... i've never seen a new   
   news article that contained a To: name originating from a JAMNNTPd server...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDP/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
