If your newsreader can post via an external inews utility, you can use this Python implementation of inews to post to specified groups via e-mail instead of NNTP: https://github.com/GrantEdwards/hybrid-inews -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I only ever post via the newsgroup, and I can see my postings reach the list because they appear in the list archive on the web. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
