Sometimes, due to management pigheadedness, you're stuck using only the 
software that they allow you to use.

Maybe, then again see my previous post. He may be using a true newsgroup!

It's a true newsgroup to me! It may be a mail <-> newsgroup gateway but 
from my end it's strict NNTP.

Bingo! But again, from my end it looks like NNTP, smells like NNTP and 
responds to NNTP. In effect, except for people stating it's a mailing 
list it is indistinguishable from any other NNTP group.

YMMV
