In a past life when i was working with IRIX systems, i changed from innd to DNews (http://netwinsite.com/dnews/install.htm, http://netwinsite.com/dnews/faq1.htm#2).  Looks like it's been out of development since 2007 (but what's changed nntp-wise since 2007?  dunno), but it was a piece of cake to configure and administer.

Subject: [CentOS] INN removed from CentOS 6

I use inn to make internal company announcements and
 discussions available to remote offices.
 I note inn is removed form RHEL 6. What replaces inn?

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Technical_Notes/apc.html

Will inn be available from elsewhere? Will I have to compile
 it?

Should I modify my scripts to create and install html files
 for a web server? That would make article deletion, archiving,
 and maintenance more difficult than it is with the inn
 nntp server.

Is there some "forum" type package that would be better
 than the inn system?
