If the usenet gateway works well, it shouldn't.

See recent postings by Lisa Covi and followups.

There are several un*x programs called 'listserv', and none of them is
even remotely compatible with LISTSERV. So far, we have not managed to
persuade their authors that calling them 'listserv' is confusing to the
users.

I assume you are talking about text files. Just send mail to the LISTSERV
userid at the node in question and, in the mail body, stick in a PUT
command as follows, immediately followed by the text file in question.
Here is the syntax:
PUT filename filetype PW=xxxxx
If you don't have a password yet, send a 'PW ADD xxxxx' command first to
get one.
