Hash: SHA1
Want to send an anonymous news post to a private news server? You can do
that with ease.
The Newsanon gateway
mail2news@newsanon.org
now posts to private news servers as well as to usenet.
To use it, include, in the headers, the directive:
x-newsserver: news.server.name
for example:
x-newsserver: newsgroups.borling.com
Then send your message as you would any message to a newsgroup using
the newsanon gateway: mail2news@newsanon.org
For example:
Subject: some test
From: joeblow@abc.invalid
To: mail2news@newsanon.org
X-Newsserver: privatenews.org
Newsgroups: news.testgroup
beginning of message.
==============================
Some news servers require authentication, usually a publicly stated
userid and password.
For them, add one extra directive:
x-newsauth: someuserid:somepassword
containing the userid and password, separated by a colon.
For example:
Subject: some test
From: joeblow@abc.invalid
To: mail2news@newsanon.org
X-Newsserver: privatenews.org
x-newsauth: someuserid:somepassword
Newsgroups: news.testgroup
beginning of message.
=============================
Sometimes you can't add headers beyond a few standard ones. In that
case, simply put the X-News... directives in the body of the message.
For example:
Subject: some test
From: joeblow@abc.invalid
To: mail2news@newsanon.org
Newsgroups: news.testgroup
X-Newsserver: privatenews.org
x-newsauth: someuserid:somepassword
beginning of message.
In this example, they are at the beginning of the message body, but
can be put anywhere in the message body.
