How anonymous do they need to be? How non-technical are they?
If you don't need to be highly anonymous, use Juno or other free dialin email.
Or get an overpriced secured credit card or debit card in a fake name
and get a cheap dial ISP; you can find them for <$9/month in many places.
All of them risk having the free/cheap ISP rat out your phone number.
You could get Freedom and install it. Not hard, real secure;
you'll have to see if there's a relatively anonymous way to pay them.
A relatively easy approach is to check out www.anonymizer.com and
set up a paid account there; it's about $5/month, and you can
presumably still pay by snailmailing cash or money orders.
Then use a browser with SSL and read the list on a free email system that's
not too Javascript-encrusted to use through Anonymizer. (Hotmail probably
doesn't work any more; I think Altavista and Excite still work,
and you can see if Hushmail does.)
Thanks!
