Incidentally, privacy.net is a real domain. Do the owners freely give
permission for its use as a fake address?
When you use gmane, you require permission from gmane to lodge messages.
Theoretically, an additonal permission is required from the list
moderator; that, as I understand it, is quite different from the
authority you require from gmane.

Harold,
I tried to post with the e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it would not
upload and was refused with the message below:
"Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject 'Re: Re: Re: Re: Spam
received for my gemane enrolment address', Account: 'news.gmane.org',
Server: 'news.gmane.org', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '441 You need a
valid email address to post: Couldn't contact SMTP server on privacy.net',
Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9"

If you post to an *e-mail* group using a fictitious address, how do you
expect to see replies? And if you expect to see replies you must use an
e-mail address that, by definition, can be "harvested".
The solution, as another poster has pointed out, is to read the list as a
newsgroup (NNPT) using a news reader. I don't know what you use at the
moment but there are any number of free news readers around. Both Outlook
and Outlook Express do it and I know from experience with OE that you can
post from e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
