Make that first port above 1024 (I use 2119, myself, for the NNTP forward).
Then... You'll get a normal looking shell on machine2, but...
On machine1 port 2119 an NNTP service (from machine3).
So tell your newsreader to use "machine1:2119" as the NNTP service.
If you dont' want a shell you can:
ssh -l reader -L 2119:the-nntp-host:119 the-remotehost sleep 7200 &
or suchlike.
The other incantation I use is:
tcpio -a 2119 ssh -x zip 'exec nc news.zip.com.au 119'
Tcpio is a local thing which listens on 2119; when a connection arrives
is runs an ssh with stdin/stdout attached to the connection (i.e it
talks toi your newsreader, which is talking to port 2119). The ssh sshs
to my ISP (zip) and there runs the command "nc news.zip.com.au 119",
which is sort of an inverse for tcpio; it connects to the stated
host/port (news.zip.com.au 119, the ISP's news service) and copies
stdin/stdout back and forth.
Like so:
newsreader@myhost
|| <== TCP connection - normal NNTP stuff
tcpio@myhost
|| <== UNIX pipe
ssh@myhost
|| <== TCP connection - normal ssh stuff
sshd@zip
|| <== UNIX pipe
nc@zip
|| <== TCP connection
nntp@isp-news-host
