Testing...

Testing a back-door through an unsecured server. If this makes it to the
outside world, someone let me know, please.

It made it.

Thanks! I'm reading from one NNTP server, posting via SMTP to another, which
relays to yet another NNTP server to get to the outside world. I'm surprised
it works. My ISP does not have an NNTP server so I've been poking around
trying to find some way to access usenet.

And of course, now that I've found a way, my next task is setting up <ahem>
....filters. I don't remember this much H&D the last time I was here a few
years ago.

Motzarella is good. Text only. http://www.motzarella.org/ Registration is
free and easy.

I had a similar problem recently when this Embarq company took over my
service. They don't do Usenet and have no interest in doing it at all to my
chagrin. I was doing read-only for a while and then found this
motzarella.org. All they wanted was a registration that has not so far been
detrimental to me and I get all the NGs and can post again. One-stop
shopping. You might want to look at that.

And it doesn't carry any of those pesky binary groups, so you can't get into
trouble like Bill did.

News.motzarella.org - got it, thanks, I'll definitely check that out. Their
website looks to be pretty straight-forward. I'm not 100% sure how I managed
to get a working gateway through one POP3, one SMTP and two different NNTP
servers to read/post here without accounts at any of the NNTP's, but it works,
so WTH. There are a handful of HTTP newsgroup sites, but I vastly prefer to
download everything to my local client for leisurely perusal and reply.

I'm proud of you for figuring out how to sneek in through the side gate!

It's amazing what one can do when truly frustrated. My best guess is that
both the NNTP hosts are misconfigured, allowing R/W privileges without
authentication for some reason. As long as I behave myself, I'm hopeful that
no one will mind.

What happened to your Libby? Last I heard, you were having a blast in it. I
like the '08's a LOT. The sliding top is what got my attention. A buddy at
work just bought an '08 Wrangler X/auto, and he loves it. Best part according
to him is the T-top that comes apart easily and on the fly. Sad but true: I
haven't had the hardtop off my TJL yet. One way or another, it's coming off
this Spring though!
