Just install a news server and mail2news software. That's very easy. Here
is the Perl script I wrote to do just this. Create the groups as moderated
ones before.
You can subscribe either with a special alias or use <login>+<list> as
address.
With this alias in /etc/{mail,postfix}/aliases (if you choose to use
separate aliases for each list):
-=-=-
# News::Gateway support
#
freebsd-test: "|/build/perl/mail2news/freebsd-list freebsd.test"
lists: roberto
-=-=-
moderators (that way, followups go to the lists)
-=-=-
freebsd.*:%s@freebsd.org
-=-=-
freebsd-list
-=-=-
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
#-*-Perl-*-
# mail2news for the FreeBSD lists
#
# Based on News::Gateway
#
# $Id$
#
require 5.004;
use News::Gateway;
my $gateway = new News::Gateway 1, 'lists-owner@REPLACE.WITH.YOUR.HOST';
$gateway->modules ('newsgroups',
'headers',
mailtonews => [$ARGV[0] || 'freebsd.test'],
'cleanbody');
$gateway->config_file (\*DATA);
$gateway->read (\*STDIN);
my $error = $gateway->apply ();
if ($error) { $gateway->error ($error) }
$error = $gateway->post ();
if ($error) { $gateway->error ($error) }
