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) }
