Peering works perfectly fine through NAT as long as you can arrange for 
traffic to an outside IP & port combination to make it into the news server.

NNTP is just a TCP stream without needing anything special.

I'm replying to your post from a news server that is behind a NAT.

You're talking about two different hings.

UUCP is able to carry news articles in general, those articles can be 
from Usenet (or other news network(s)) at large or local to the news server.

I believe there are people that carry email (both local and to the 
Internet at large) via UUCP.  Though I don't have any recent examples to 
point at.

I have a few systems linked with each other in UUCP, but nothing is 
flowing over those links any more.
