You don't _want_ to depend on my provider's server, believe me. Its propagation delays are *awful*, and a large proportion of articles (I estimate it at 50%) never show up at all. I stopped using it long ago, precisely for that reason. I would have used the server I'm using now, news.cis.dfn.de, but it requires username/password authentication, which probably is not going to work with mailman's forwarding. > Usenet is a highly decentralized > infrastructure, and there shouldn't be any public injection points due > to their massive abuse for spamming over the past few years. GNU news groups clearly have servers they use for gateways between them and the corresponding mailing lists. I assumed I could use one of those servers in this case. > If the host on which Mailman is running has got a static IP address, I > could open a news server for this particular host. This is something I cannot answer.
