Not every server provides every newsgroup especially, binaries groups are often not carried. The provider also selects which lists are offered. Google Groups (because it encourages top-posting and rich HTML formatting and disallow anonymous access, you should login to their service)Ī (historic) list of public access news servers.As of 2016-08 after huge DDOS author decided to shut down the service. It allow posting to most of Debian mail list under .* hierarchy (because they do not usually require subscription to post). Most of Debian mail lists gatewayed to bian.* Usenet hierarchy.

allow free reading and limited number of posting per IP per day. allow free reading and posting after registration. > There are alternatives if your provider doesn't supply one. Usenet News is transmitted via Network News Transfer/Transport Protocol (NNTP). Some providers include a newsserver in their services, some don't. In order to use Usenet, you need access to a newsserver.

I currently have no news-access, therefore this info might be a bit outdated. Don't ask me why, but it really is Usenet, not Newsnet!
