I found a neat free server in Germany, run by a university, that lets you
read and post as an authorized user. They set up an account for you
manually if you send them an email.
This is great for me since I use my MP from many areas, not just one domain
or subnet, and the newservers on each of those networks don't need a login
but base access on whether you are on their network or not (and from home,
comcast won't have one up again until middle of Feb).
The only rule I noticed that bugged me a little- you have to use a valid
email in your "from:" "reply-to:" etc. headers- and I haven't done that for
years due to spam harvesting. They don't like the
"REMOVETHISme_at_myaddress.com" type thing but will let you get a free "dead"
mailbox at deadspam.com and use that in your header info. Go figure. They
actually do a DNS lookup on those fields before your post is accepted
(granted that only catches munged domains, the example I have here of a
munged account address would still pass, but if they noticed, they could
close your account for you).
Use it for good! And be nice to them so they don't ban international users.
