I don't see a problem. Broadly put, news is broadcast e-mail. There are many sites which in fact do not distinguish between the two, the most notable of which is CMU's Andrew Message System: the admins of such systems believe the "experiment" to be an all-around success.
Is the AMS software (or some similar system) available as freeware or shareware somewhere ? I'm considering the possibilities for anonymized subscription to newsgroups through a mechanism like this. Come to think of it, many newsgroups are gatewayed to related mailing lists for readers on BBSes and such; I need to search a bit for the software used to do this. I'm curious how such systems deal with cancellation messages; presumably they would simply have to drop them. This would partially eliminate the threat of spam-of-cancels attacks I mentioned earlier. - - -L.
