I did something like this when I ran a Usenet server.  The hooks are
there in the INN software.  That Usenet server is now long gone, I'm
gone from the organisation concerned, and the organisation no longer
runs a Usenet service.

However I think you'll find mailing lists as Usenet Newsgroups is
already available for *lots* of public mailing lists.  See:

http://gmane.org

This particular mailing list appears available as the gmane
Newsgroup:

gmane.mail.imap.cyrus

readable via the web or NNTP.

You can, I believe, post via gmane.  See:
