I operate a hidden NNTP server. I would like to 0xBEEF it up with
mail2news.

Does anyone know how to configure YAMN to pull from a mailserver and
forward to news ... while ensuring that no mail will exit to another
MTA? Where would I find the best documentation for such a task?

I wouldn't mind experimenting with some mixminion-y stuff, but only if I
can guarantee that mail won't exit my host to clearnet MTAs. It only
takes one nasty message to risk getting RBL'd.

If anyone can point me to how to accomplish this I will start offering
mail2news via mixminion / YAMN. If I must scour the web for every bit
of information, fuggeddaboudit, the scouring won't happen.

If such documentation does not exist, that is a bug and one of the
experts could create the patch.

So here is my wish:

A simple open SMTP relay that accepts messages into the mixnet;

But; will never, ever, exit mail to a clearnet server outside the
mixnet;

And will forward final hop messages as mail2news to a newsgroup.

Bonus points for this:

If a cleartext SMTP message is received, the server will create its own
mixminion chain and encrypt 3 hops then forward to the next mix in the
chain.

Thanks for playing!

The Mixminion network no longer exists. The last time there was a
working Mixminion node I think the Twin Towers were still standing.
