I used UUCP (UUPC on DOS) and GIGO for my email/newsgroup feed in the mid
1990s.  This worked well, until my provider at the time ceased providing UUCP
services.  I then had to resort to a different setup (with a new domain!) using
SMTP and NNTP under OS/2, and later, managed to get it working under Windows
using the MDaemon mail server, which only required minor data massaging and
moving files to/from GIGO's working areas.
