I do.  I read NANOG in a private local newsgroup.  It only works one-way --
to post, I have to send mail to nanog@merit.edu and so my address has to be
entered on the nanog-post list.  KILL files are wonderful.  /etc/aliases says:

local-mail-net-nanog:   |"/news/local/mailpost -d local local.mail.net.nanog"

i've put a copy of "mailpost" at http://www.vix.com/~vixie/mailpost.txt.  it's
really a perl script, 324 lines long, written by me back in 1992 or so.
