Unfortunately, such gateways tend to generate lots of spam on a mailinglist. You may want to think twice before doing this.
Even worse: Subscribers' email addresses would be visible in Usenet thus attracting more email spam (UBE).
However when thinking over this, I feel that _not_ opening a mail/news gateway for this reason means kind of capitulation to the spammers.
Opinions?
