The script I posted will do it for all domains (perhaps I should have worded my post more carefully).

If you tar up your directory and type the script as it is above and hit enter you will see:

Code:
$ for dir in /var/www/domain*
>do
>    cd $dir
>    printf "Extracting to $dir.."
>    tar xf /path/to/mydir.tar
>    echo
>done
Extracting to /var/www/domain1.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain2.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain3.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain4.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain5.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain6.com...
... and so on ...

snnewgroup

snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)

NAME

       snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup

SYNOPSIS

       snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]

DESCRIPTION

       snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port.  If port is not specified, defaults to 119.  If server is
       also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.

       You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.

FILES CREATED

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup
	      Directory where articles will be stored.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
	      Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
	      Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port.	The value is initialized to 0.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
	      If server is specified, is a symlink to  /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does  not  already
	      exist.  If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created.  See also snsend.
