I'm posting this through a newsgroup, and at least during my tests period, every post I had got to my mailing-list account. you just have to find a server that allow posting. some ISP's (includeint mine) allow posting but indeed only their news customers will see the post). I'm using sunsite.dk but you have to subscribe to them, and then to another list (I don't remember where, but send a test email and in the refusal mail you'll get the link).

(I'd rather have a newsgroup than a mailing list so that I can consciously *choose* which messages to save, rather than having to decide to delete them. With a mailing list, I end up becoming a total packrat and having to work way too hard to find the messages I really need to see ... at which point I might as well search the archives, anyway =P ) -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The list had some issues dealing with massive swen attacks, but it's much better now. I would try posting through the newsgroup again and see if it works now. I'm posting this from the newsgroup, and I've been using it for the last several days.
