 - made inews check for moderated groups and mail the article to the
   moderator (bcc: user) if possible (i. e. if inews was able to compute
   the moderator's address). format of uulib:news/mailpaths:

      # comments are introduced by a hash sign in the first column
      news-group: [e-mail]

   note that all dots in `news.group' are replaced by `-'; this seems to be
   a convention (haven't found this in the rfc). although i'm not convinced
   this is neccessary, to reduce confusion (and flames =:->), i decided to
   adopt that scheme.

   the article is only mailed to _one_ moderator, that is, the first address
   we resolve is taken, why may or may not relate to the first moderated
   group.

   the special definition `default: [e-mail]' defines a `smart-host'
   for moderated groups; that is, if you know someone who has always an up-
   to-date alias file in terms of moderators, simply enter this to have all
   your postings to moderated groups mailed to that site. the `%s' is
   replaced with the transformed name of the group in question (`news.admin.-
   technical' -> `news-admin-technical').

   warning: the algorythm first checks for an exact match (`news.admin.techni-
   cal' -> `news-admin-technical: user@site'). failing here, an existing
   `default:' entry is used, this may lead to problems if you cross-post to
   `local.moderated,news.admin.technical' and forgot to set up a mailpaths-
   entry for `local.moderated': the article gets mailed to `local-moderated@-
   site.do.main' according to you `default:' entry. but that's your problem,
   not mine =:->
