However they are more than not keen on you using an invalid address (and IIRC they say they will terminate you if you do) How did you get round this? I get round it by having my usenet address drop into a spam folder on webmail that I only check occasionally. I'm amazed at the speed of data transfer with NIN compared to big commercial providers such as Giganews. As to the reply address, NIN's FAQ suggests the .invalid option: 5.3 May I mangle my "From:" header address so that I do not get spam? We recommend creating a special e-mail address for use with Usenet articles only and protecting it with suitable filtering rules. This way your regular mailbox will stay untroubled, but you can still receive e-mail responses to your Usenet articles. Another option is using the Top Level Domain ".invalid" (see RFC 2606). The Top Level Domain ".invalid" is intended for construction of obviously invalid addresses like ". Such addresses do not disturb and pollute regular name space and can easily be identified as invalid by both humans and machines. They've obviously changed their policy since I joined them many moons ago when my ISP dumped usenet. I have always been very pleased with their service, well worth 10 euros/year. |
