Author Mail2News addresses for Hamster?

'ello.

I make occasional use of a "semi-anonymous" system I got from the (in)famous
'Kadaitcha' guy's website, which uses Hamster, and the freeware ArgoSoft
mail-server to send emails to a variety of mail2news addresses for
propagation through Usenet as newsgroup posts, like I'm doing with this
post.

It's nice, quick, and it works, but there don't seem to be many working
m2news addresses, as such. Here's what I mean.

These are the addresses included in the Hamster mail2news.hsc file that
handles them . . . .

ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news@frogadmin.yi.org>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news@news.gradwell.net>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <usenet-gateway@mixmaster.shinn.net>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news@dizum.com>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news_nospam@dizum.com>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news@anon.lcs.mit.edu>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news_nospam@anon.lcs.mit.edu>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <alt.test@bigapple.yi.org>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news@remailer.org.uk>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news@nym.alias.net>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news@shinn.net>")

.. . . . But none of them seem to work. The list *is* from 2003, so that's
hardly surprising.

Now, I mostly post in political newsgroups where I don't really want my IP
number being reported. When the system described, above, fails to find a
working address it doesn't produce an error message; it makes the post, but
reveals my IP.

I did, however, manage to find, and add, the following 3 that do seem to
work . . . .

ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news@bananasplit.info>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news_nospam@bananasplit.info>")
ListAdd ($Mail2News, "!RCPT TO: <mail2news_munge@bananasplit.info>")

.. . . . Which is nice. Thanks, Bananasplit.

The problem is that Bananasplit adds a "X-Abuse-Contact:
abuse@bananasplit.info" header into the posted messages. I understand why,
and I'm not getting at Bananasplit for doing it, it's just that it *could*
make the posts I make "identifiable" in the sense that even though I *may*
change my name, occasionally, savvy readers could say "Hey - it's that
Bananasplit guy again".

Also, someone who may take offence at my politics/opinions could use the
complaint address to make posting through Bananasplit impossible. (I do NOT
post spam, and I don't Troll). Though, one man's troll is another man's
extreme opinion.

My point? Surely there are more mail2news services that work other than
Bananasplit, that could be added to the .hsc file, above? Or are there?! Any
ideas?

Mail2news@dizum.com should work. Otherwise you won't see this message.
