We often have people who are moving to campus looking for housing.  They
are invited to mail their housing requests (roommate, condo to share,
etc) to a mailing address here which posts it to the regional housing
newsgroup.  They clearly would expect to get email in response to such
postings.

I don't think there's a better example of a use for posting to a
regional newsgroup, nor a simpler way to handle it.
