Since we're talking about old protocols, there is, of course, UUCP.

There is a more modern replacement called NNCP that has quite a few nice

properties. It is still asynchronous, but it is fully encrypted and

authenticated, supports tor-style onion routing and async multicast, and

so forth. I have made some blog posts about it and also offer Usenet

feeds over NNCP. UUCP or NNCP would be perfect fits for something like

this.

Hey, thanks for the writeups on NNCP. I've been interested in NNCP for ayear or two, but haven't actually used it because the existingdocumentation isn't very concrete. I am *very* interested in building aUsenet/post-Usenet feed on top of NNCP, so I'll be reading your writeupwith much interest.
