Last time I used mail2news, it was bidirectional by nature.  You set 
up the newsgroup's moderator to be the list address.  Therefore:
 
* If someone posted to the newsgroup, it would be forwarded to the 
list address for approval.  One of the list's subscribers would be an 
alias to the script that adds the "Approved" header and then ships 
it off to the newsgroup.
 
* If someone posted to the mailing list, it would do the same as 
above, minus the first sentence.
 
I believe it requires a configuration change on the news server, 
however.  A lot of providers balk at this.

Not sure if that helps, but it was a headache getting mine set up, 
especially to an alt.* newsgroup.  It didn't help that I was trying to 
retrofit moderation to an existing newsgroup, either.
