submit form to mail and newsgroup

[werdina]

I was asked to create a form that will allow attachments and upon clicking submit, it should be sent to

1) a specific email address
2) a newsgroup

I have managed to create the form and get it to submit to an email address. I have no previous php or programming background and I am at a loss on how to get it to send to a newsgroup.

Can anybody help me with regards to coding it?

as far as i kno its the same thing as sending regular mail as it is to send to the newsgroup.. you should have atleast 1 email for the newgroup. In some cases more then that.

Basically you'll get a list of emails for the newsgroup or "list serv"
and run a loop through all the mails sending them out one at a time..
or if you like all at once.
