• Status of alt.anonymous.messages on news.tcpreset.net

    From Newsgroup: alt.privacy.anon-server

    For anyone wondering whether encrypted messages can actually be posted
    to alt.anonymous.messages: on news.tcpreset.net they can, and they are.

    The group is alive and open. The INN active file lists it as alt.anonymous.messages 0000013732 0000012429 y (posting allowed,
    unmoderated, roughly 1300 articles retained).

    A look at recent articles shows encrypted and anonymized traffic being
    posted and propagated normally:
    - Nym mixnet posts via the Hermes gateway.
    - Remailer posts: From: Anonymous <nobody@remailer.paranoici.org>,
    similar hashed subjects and opaque payloads.
    - Ordinary spam still gets through, so the group is not filtered to encrypted-only, but that is a content-agnostic observation, not a
    limitation.

    So if someone claims encrypted messages cannot be posted to AAM, that is
    not the case on news.tcpreset.net.

    Whether any given upstream gateway accepts them depends on that
    gateway's operator.
