NODE 9b35b571Which remailers like to handle anon mail?

I have been trying to form a picture of the anonymous remailer services
available to subscribers to USENET newsgroups.
Here is the current list of mail-to-news gateways (obtained by executing
finger remailer.list@chaos.bsu.edu):
alt.test.usenet@decwrl.dec.com / yes, works for me
alt.test@news.demon.co.uk / " "
alt.test@news.cs.indiana.edu / " "
alt-test@pws.bull.com X host unknown
alt-test@ucbvax.berkeley.edu
alt-test@cs.utexas.edu / works; discourages anon mail
also, soda.berkeley.edu /works well
I would appreciate a few details, if anyone can assist, please:
Is pws.bull.com no longer in existence?, as I get "unknown host".
Is this a list of all the public gateways that exist in the whole world???
Which of these sites welcomes anon mail for anon posting? Anyone know?
(apart from soda)
To cross-post to 2 newsgroups, I believe the standard method is:
mail alt-test@cs.utexas.edu
CC: misc-test@cs.utexas.edu
So, can I cross post to a 3rd group by using BCC: misc-misc@cs.utexas.edu?
And, does this mean that 3 groups is the upper limit for cross-posting?
(I know soda has no upper limit, but I'm asking about the others.)
There are plenty of Cypherpunks anonymous remailers available for the
net to use, but it seems to me that they satisfy only one-half of the
requirement -- we also need a number of obliging mail-to-news gateways if
anonymous news is going to be a solid proposition.
Awaiting your answers with great interest!

Well, here's my updated list:
group.name@news.demon.co.uk
group.name@news.cs.indiana.edu
group.name@bull.com
group.name@cass.ma02.bull.com
group.name@undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca
group.name@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
group.name@ccs.uwo.ca
group.name@julian.uwo.ca
group.name.usenet@decwrl.dec.com
I took out cs.utexas.edu; I've had a lot of trouble with that one losing
posts. They don't bounce, and they don't get posted, they just
disappear. After reading a lot of posts on alt.test, I found the ones
listed above. If you know of any more, send me mail!
Also, you can use charm.magnus.ohio-state.edu, beauty.magnus, top,
bottom... they're quarks!
uwo.ca by itself doesn't work, you must use ccs or julian.

I don't know about these, unless you meant Eric/Sameer's remailer.

I don't think ucbvax is a mail->news gateway anymore.
remailer@soda.berkeley.edu works, yes.

I have had difficulty with Utexas as well when I tried it with *.test
groups a month ago.
