newsguy.com runs our rec.arts.bonsai group and I can say their spam
filtering is excellent -- maybe one a week gets through. They have consumer
accounts for like $3 too.

Yes, many people are scrambling now to find reliable news feeds. The
OP identified himself as being in San Antonio. Posting through free
news feeds anywhere is becoming common. I have a friend who posted
through a university in Germany because it was a reliable and free
news feed. That recently changed, though, so he is scrambling again.
I ended up subscribing to one for three dollars a month just to solve
the issue.
I suppose that $13.25 a year might be a deal breaker for some, but my
experience in the past is that their server is as fast and reliable as
Giganews or Supernews (and spam-free), and most free servers now aren't.
