Yes, INN doesn't care anything at all about the content of the message.

If you're having trouble posting binary articles, are you using Red Hat?
If so, be aware that Red Hat's INN installation enables a separate
filtering program called Cleanfeed (not part of INN) by default, and one
of the things that program does is reject binary articles in discussion
newsgroups.  You can either disable it for your server configuration or
add your local newsgroups to the exception list in its configuration file.
