The following are the various ways I have seen mentioned to post something:
1. The ATARINET subserver on bitnet has the following three lines in the
index file:
+** ATARINET is a subserver of UH-INFO **
+** Send comments and files for **
+** ATARINET to UACE0 at UHUPVM1. **
Keep in mind that this is on bitnet (so mail would go to
UACE0@UHUPVM1.BITNET). Also, if you post to ATARINET, you
might want to seek out a volunteer with interactive bitnet
access to test the validity of your posted program as it appears
on the server. (Occasionally, ATARINET has a corrupted file
on its public distribution list.)
2. The following message appeared on comp.sys.atari.st a while ago. Note that
all addresses mentioned refer to arpanet, so from a non arpanet site, you
would need to append .ARPA to the end of each e-mail address.
+The Arpanet/DDN archives for the atari are ready for use. FTP to
+RADC-SOFTVAX, and login as GUEST with password GUEST. The current list
+of files is 'atari16/files.doc', GET this file for an updated list of
+what's available. If anyone has a particular program they want, send a
+message to us, and we'll see what we can do. The maintainers of the
+archives are: Rodney Peck (Peck@RADC-MULTICS) and Marc Poulin
+(Poulin@RADC-MULTICS). Enjoy.

3. Score, the machine that info-atari16 flows from/through, also has a
public domain library that is ftp'able. I am not sure how to post to
that archive, but I suggest you send an e-mail message to
INFO-ATARI-MODERATOR@SCORE.STANFORD.EDU asking for instructions.
4. LISTSERV@CANADA01 and LISTSERV@FINHUTC are servers that keep track of
info-atari16 articles and I am not sure what all else. I don't use these
because I have never really needed to. Both of them are on bitnet (add
.BITNET to the mailing address). Also, I think FINHUTC is in Europe, so
if your programs will not run on European machines, I would suggest you
not post there.
5. The following article was posted to comp.sys.atari.st not too long ago:

+
+comp.binaries.atari.st and comp.sources.atari.st are moderated newsgroups
+(by yours truly) for the postings of (i'll bet you guessed) source programs
+and binaries fot the atari st series. If a program is posted by me it means
+that i have tested it (to the best of my abilities), put it into a packaged
+form (arc or shar), unpackaged it just to be sure, checksummed the pieces,\
+and finally posted it.
+
+I am also currently mailing all postings to ...umix!hyc (Howard Chu) who
+has promised to make them available on alternate nets.
+
+other archive sites are INFO-ATARI16 and UHACE, i'm sorry to say that i've
+forgotten the full addresses to those sites
+
+To submit a program(s) for posting please mail to:
+
+....{ucbvax|decwrl}!imagen!atari!daisy!turner
+
+or
+
+....nsc!daisy!turner
+
+If you need copies of arc or uudecode/uuencode to decode the posting, please
+send me email
+
+I hope this helps...

I hope you have better luck translating addresses like ...!daisy!turner
than I do. I think these operate for a different network than the one
I am on. In any event, I am pretty sure that turner can be
reached at TURNER@DAISY.UUCP. Please note that
for whatever reason (new job hopefully) Jim Turner seems to be running
a bit behind schedule (i.e. it may take a few weeks from the time you
mail to him until he posts; I assume this is because he is busy but also
because he checks everything that is posted to make sure it works).
Good luck. I hope something is this little note is of some help.
