Greetings,

email to <newsgroup>@news.demon.co.uk

eg demon.ip.support.atari@news.demon.co.uk

I have found it is the only reliable way to get a posting done, even to 
groups I subscribe to. Demon manage to lose an awful lot of stuff. Not their 
fault of course, it's mine for using an Atari (!).

Hope this helps.
