NODE 29af5bacNeed Mail-to-News gates
Could someone PLEASE netmail me some _known reliable_ gates that use the
straight netmail address format (alt.whatnot@bosco.kollege.edu)?

All of the old reliables are shut down and none of the ones listed in
the last remailer helpfile I got work either:

group.name@news.demon.co.uk
group.name@dispatch.demon.co.uk
group.name@bull.com
group.name@cass.ma02.bull.com
group.name@paris.ics.uci.edu
group.name@crs4gw.crs4.it
group.name@berlioz.crs4.it
group.name.usenet@canaima.Berkeley.EDU

NONE of these work, or were nonfunctional when I tested them, anyway.

I use the other gates like mail2news@utopia.hacktic.nl with the
Newsgroups: field format, but the straight address format is useful for
some other purposes.

Thanks.

If someone will direct me to sources, I'll try and setup a gate. (We use 
INN).

Why not take the easy way out - set up an alias in /usr/lib/aliases to 
run inews on the incoming email?

I've gotten the gate up, but still working a few bugs out. Cypherpunks 
are welcome to use it but if it is abused, I will have to remove general 
access.

Until I can write a script to pull all the newsgroups from the active 
file and place aliases for them in sendmail, the only way to use it is 
via a Newsgroups: header. The address is mail2news@news.wsnet.com.

Let me know any bugs you may find.
