This subject came up here a few months ago. I can report that
I was able to post to the rec.video.cable-tv newsgroup anonymously
through the wimsey remailer plus group-name@cs.utexas.edu.
Send the following to
Remailer
all PGP encrypted with key
pub 1024/B5A32F 1992/12/13 Remailer
To: group-name@cs.utexas.edu
Subject: <subject to appear in post>
<blank line>
Text to appear in anonymous post to newsgroup "group-name"
"Group-name" is the name of the newsgroup with dashes "-" substituted
for periods ".". Where the name already contains a dash, just leave
it alone. So, for example, rec.video.cable-tv becomes
rec-video-cable-tv.
Note that with the wimsey remailer, anything not encrypted is
discarded, so no need to worry about your automatic sig.
Here is how the anonymous post appears:
[Newsgroup rec.video.cable-tv]

Here in San Jose, CA, TCI recently cut the price of "basic" cable
in half, but made a corresponding increase in the fee for "extended"
...
So the conclusion is, cancel extended basic immediately. At worst
you're losing a vastly overpriced service; at best, you're losing
nothing at all, and saving $15/month!!

This apparently works to any newsgroup, which function Julf got in
trouble for providing. Use and enjoy! We'll see what happens to
UTexas or Wimsey.
There is also apparently a new Julf-like forwarder that just appeared.
