I won't do that. While Usenet and e-mail _do_ look reasonably
similiar, they aren't. In 20 years of usenet, I have not seen a single
gateway between e-mail and Usenet that worked acceptably. Challenges
like the per-user "read" status, unique message-IDs and crosspostings
are excruciatingly hard to solve.

Running INN is much easier.

Greetings
