ok... i can help a bit now that my company is gone...

https://www.google.com/search?q=free+nntp+newsgroup+servers

this link will give you links of sites that either list free NNTP newsgroup
servers (not SMTP as you wrote previously) or provide free NNTP access...
that's if you want to do the leg work to get the news articles and process
them into your system... if you don't want to do that, it is possible that
someone in fidonet may already have a FTN feed of those groups or can easily
set one up for you to link to using FTN technology... i can offer such but i
don't currently pull those groups... i do pull several others and adding them
to my feed shouldn't take much to accomplish...

so, there ya go... let me know what you figure out and decide to do ;)
