GNUS may also be configurable for a local news system, but I haven't brought it up here yet so I'm not sure about it. Not only local news spool, but also private MH folders and articles saved using GNUS are readable inside GNUS. mhspool.el which enables GNUS to read private directory will come with GNUS 3.10.

GNUS can be configured for a local news system, but this still isn't as flexible as I'd like. On the network I'm currently maintaining, every node NFS mounts the spool directory to allow "local" reading, and I use NNTP to post, to avoid file locking/overwrite problems. This is simple to configure for in rn, slightly more difficult for postnews, and somewhat confusing in gnus. Post command in nnspool.el calls inews program. So, if you replace inews, you can post messages by your favorite method. NNTPnized inews program which is included in standard nntp package can be used in this case, I think.
