I've setup a mail-to-news gateway for the various PHP3.* mailing lists. At first it was for my own use, but as a few friends mentioned how useful it was for them, I posted an announcement about it on the PHP3 groups and people there like it. I am now announcing a similar service for the MySQL lists. This is a one way only mail-to-news gateway. The newsgroups are _LOCAL_ on my news server only and do not propagate anywhere on the net. It is a good way to keep up with the lists without having your mail box overflowed. You also get various features such as threaded messages, etc. that comes with modern newsreaders. You can NOT post to these groups, however, you can reply to the author of each individual message, and of course you can also send to the mysql lists. With the PHP3 lists, only members can post to it. I assumed (I hope!) that the same applies to MySQL lists. That helps keep spams down.
