The instructions for installing suck are thusly insufficient that I think installing suck nevertheless may be counted as an obhack.

What I did:
~/mysuck
---
#!/usr/bin/bash
cd /etc/suck
sudo -u news suck
news.eternal-september.org -A -bp -c -hl localhost -u -U ctjacobs -P CENSORED
---
to be called by me before I read news
~/mypost
---
#!/usr/bin/bash
/usr/lib/news/bin/sm $1 | formail -f -I Xref: -I Injection-info: | rpost
news.eternal-september.org -u -U ctjacobs -P CENSORED
---
to be called from newsfeeds. chown news:news
