The easiest tool to work with, in my opinion, is rnews. It is included with
INN. From the manpage:

       rnews injects either individual articles or UUCP-style article batches
       into a local or remote news server.  It submits articles via IHAVE and
       is suitable for injecting articles received from other sources; local
       postings should generally use inews(1) instead.  It is also used to
       process spooled messages created by, for example, nnrpd while innd is
       not available.
