I have been experimenting the past few days with anon remailer to USENET gateway systems to see what the results would be -- nada. I used Chael's BSU system (nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu) to attempt a usenet post which never (magically?) appeared in the desired group (alt.privacy, I believe). I waited for several days for the post, but nada, zilch, zero. I retried the bsu remailer with a test message to make sure it was still active, and yes, it seemed to work perfectly. My guess is that the usenet gateway at utexas refuses anon e-mail. Anyone got any other suggestions? I haven't tried any other gateways -- yet. Cheers.

You're right. Fletcher Mattox disabled anonymous posts a while back. :( -- Ed Carp, N7EKG erc@apple.com 510/659-9560 If you want magic, let go of your armor. Magic is so much stronger than steel! -- Richard Bach, "The Bridge Across Forever"

Paul, I have seen several bounces from the utexas server because there was no Subject for the posting, you need to put a subject line in the pasted header like so: :: Request-Remailing-To: alt-test@utexas.whatever... Subject: this is a test Organization: there [body] Good luck, but that's what the error message said, there's nothing about anonymity in the bounce, though.
