What I've done is installed a news server on my machine that pulls from all the other servers I'm interested in and then I just connect to my local server to get the news. You will never be able trap 100% of all spam, but with the hack spam filters and the DNews filters you should be quite safe.

As for the 'no pulling' clause. You will be pulling an insignificant amount of news in comparison to anyone who happens to download a few mp3s or a couple of binary pics each day. You won't even register on their meters.

The commercial clause is debatable. Unless you are charging subscriptions for access to your usenet forums you could argue your case.

But the bottom line is; the amount of news you are actually downloading really is tiny. As long as you stay away from the binary groups I wouldn't worry too much.
