I suppose running internal newsgroups would have the same problem?

phpBB looks good and has lots of features. Bear in mind that pretty much 
every board - especially the PHP ones - have had security holes in them 
in the past, and more are constantly being found. Check bugtraq. Might 
not be so much of an issue for an internal-only board, but still..

I always thought that phpBB et al should have a backend store module 
which could use a news server to store postings - you could probably do 
most of the functionality, with custom headers for any board-specific 
features, etc.
