There are public newsservers and there are private ones. Anyone can
subscribe to any public server group and post there. This is where
your e-mail address is vulnerable.

There are servers where you have to subscribe and get a name and
password to even view the posts there. The news server for MDaemon
support is like that. You need a real e-mail address to get
subscribed. Additionally services such as Gmane that mirrors list mail
to NNTP offer e-mail address encryption.

The server can be made read only so that no one can post to it. Posts
are added only via the mailing list.
