You don't _want_ to depend on my provider's server, believe me. Its
propagation delays are *awful*, and a large proportion of articles (I
estimate it at 50%) never show up at all. I stopped using it long
ago, precisely for that reason.
I would have used the server I'm using now, news.cis.dfn.de, but it
requires username/password authentication, which probably is not
going to work with mailman's forwarding.

GNU news groups clearly have servers they use for gateways between
them and the corresponding mailing lists. I assumed I could use one
of those servers in this case.

This is something I cannot answer. Richard, who should I ask?
