It is very difficult indeed for those of us who don't have access to
standard NNTP ports through a company firewall.  Darn tricky, at that point.

(...) I wasn't going to get into this, but why is it so hard? I've done it - you just set up your newsreader as your personal identity (since not a lot of people use news for work), and mail in your "official" messages... not hard at all, is it? Dan (26 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
