Well, it's a list about Majordomo development. That would point to a very
large probability that it's run by Majordomo software. So the evidence
would tend to suggest that requests would be answered at
majordomo@greatcircle.com. ^_^

I recently saw the following Procmail/formail solution. I can't use it
because I don't run an NNTP server; I wish there was a lightweight one that
was better suited to this kind of thing. There was work on the nndb
backend to the Gnus newsreader that would serve personal mail via a small,
private, authenticated NNTP server but it didn't get very far.
Note that a more Majordomo-ish method of implementing the following would
be to stick a pipe to the script in the outgoing alias.

Here is what we did. If anyone can see problems or suggest
improvements to this, please let me know.
----------------------------------------
Create the moderated group `group.foo' in the news server, with the
mailing list `foo@your.host' as moderator.
Add `foo-news' as subscriber to the `foo' list.
Add
foo-news: "|exec /pack/dnews/mail2news group.foo"
to `/etc/aliases'
The mail2news script looks like this:
#! /bin/sh
NNTPSERVER=news.host
export NNTPSERVER
INEWS=/pack/dnews/inews
FORMAIL=/pack/procmail/bin/formail
NEWSGROUPS=$1
( $FORMAIL -I "Newsgroups: $NEWSGROUPS" \
-a "Approved: slist@your.host" \
-R "From " "X-Mail-From: " \
-R "Received:" "X-Mail-Received:" \
-R "Path:" "X-Mail-Path:" \
-I "Path: slist" \
| $INEWS ) || exit 42
exit 0
We use the minimal inews that is distributed together with lynx.
