There are plenty of free usenet servers out there. I use
eternal-september.org; no binary groups but that's fine with me. And
their retention policy is decent.

I suggest you try them out.


That is four recommendations now, so I will. Allowing free posting would be
very convincing, even though the 10 EUR for the German firm per year is
easily bearable. I guess not hosting binaries is one way they can
dramatically reduce unwanted posters. I use Xnews to read stuff, so good
retention is helpful, and might be the decide between the two.
