Some 'forums' mirror Usenet groups. You could try searching for the nntp
posting host and seeing what you get.

You need to define "usenet posts" - do you want to search an archive like
Google Groups for many months / years of posts accross all groups? Or do
you just want to search the past week in a small number of groups?

If the latter then you could try running something like hamster.

(NNTP posting host is one of the harder headers to forge.)
