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

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.
