I'd like to setup my own NNTP (Network_News_Transfer_Protocol) server for my intranet. What free solutions do exists? Any recommendations? I'd like to have something with a GUI, if possible.
Thanks,

Is NNTP really the best technology? Not to dis something just because it's old - but might a web forum and/or an RSS feed be better suited to whatever you're trying to do? How about you tell us what you're trying to do, from a "business" or "end-state" point of view?– mfinniMay 17, 2010 at 18:31

NNTP will certainly make a come-back once people realize that Slack doesn't give them a threaded-by-default mode of communication.– AaronJun 23, 2017 at 15:19

You could try http://sourceforge.net/projects/wendzelnntpd/. Been a while since I used this but it was pretty simple setup.
We always used DNEWS, it's wasn't free but was very cheap, and it worked well for us... http://www.netwinsite.com/dnews.htm, but it looks like they've discontinued it - it's still for download, don't know if it's now free w/o a license or not, their forum's down. You could ping them and see what the deal is.
Or you could load on a server OS and get one for free that way.
