Have you looked at http://gmane.org ? They offer mailing list -> newsgroups gateway, they let you encode the e-mail addresses to protect from spam harvesters, and posts through news server must be from a confirmed e-mail address (posting through newsserver can also be disabled). The server also acts as an archive and allows web-based reading of the mailing list. -- begin .sig < Jernej Simoncic >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > There is a solution to every problem; the only difficulty is finding it. -- Evvie Nef's Law end ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
