Just an FYI, if you're receiving a message about messages not being
found there was an issue at eternal september where the database was
corrupted.  They're working on restoring messages but it will take
around 3 weeks.

You can see conversations about it at the newsgroup
eternal-september.support.

 we need more usenet servers methinks. having everyone on one service is an
issue. For some reason Eternal September has become the standard to go to
for free access to text groups. I assume because unlike others it was
comparatively good with spam during the google groups spam waves.

I found i2pn2.org, 4 year retention (much lower than eternal-september) I had trouble posting yesterday, but may not have set it up right.  I did a test just now after selecting 'always authenticate' and it worked.
There's also solani.org, but only 6 month retention.
