Can anyone suggest a working free NNTP server of the month,
which allows posting? I hate going through Google's web
interface. All my usuals are now AWOL.

<http://news.motzarella.org/> is decent. Short retention time, a
little sluggish, but fairly reliable.

When I tried this server, I only got motz groups. I didn't get any
alt.* groups for example.

You have to send the guy an email and ask for an account.

see www.motzarella.org for more details.

Ok... back on the air again. I wonder how long this
server will last ;-)

Two years for me so far.

One of the server's DNS names disappeared at one stage and I had to
change it, but that's all the problems so far.

It goes off for a couple of hours now and again, but not very often,
I assume for some sort of maintenance.

The only problem I get now & then is that there
are "too many connections for this IP address". This
means there are other users in this company I work
for that are competing for this resource :(
