With my Newsmail setup, I use news.readfreeneews.net to receive messages  -
-very fast but doesn't actually allow posting.  I send via aioe.cjb.net -- 
slow to receive, but does allow posting; doesn't propagate across Usenet 
very quickly, though, in my experience.  Would like to find a better 
posting server.
