Don't do this. The mailing list and newsgroup are connected.

Yes, it's possible. They will reply with

www.example.test.com CNAME ts.example.test2.com

If they have recursion or query-cache enabled, they may also respond with
ts.example.test2.com A in answer section and example.test.com NS info in
