[Please respond via netmail - I have only intermittant access to list]
Can someone send me a list of functioning mail-2-news gates?
Suddenly, @news.demon.co.uk, which has worked well for ages, is rejecting
posts:

You do not have posting privileges via this mail2news gateway.

This is troubling, as I have not found another gate that carries my regional
heirarchy.
Also, is there a method by which one can access (via netmail) a list of the
newsgroups served by a given mail-2-news gate?
Thanks for any help.

I've posted a message about this to a local demon newsgroup. I
haven't seen any announcement about withdrawing mail2news access from
non-Demon subscribers.
The mail2news gateway has been abused with spam from some large ISPs
(guess which one? ), but Demon's policy seems to be that they deal with
such problems on an individual or site basis.
It is possible there was a configuration error at demon which may have
been fixed by now.
