Newsgroup Software and Providers?

[luke]

Can anyone recommend any automated newsgroup posting software and newgroup feed providers?

About all that I'll recommend is that you don't waste your time with newsgroups. I think they're pretty much dead territory now. I haven't heard of anyone lately that has had much luck with them. And there are as many fanatical anti-spam zealots there as there are in the email game. :(

Even more so. A client of mine had been a member of a newsgroup for months, but the instant he posted part of an article he had written with a URL to the rest of it, they were on him like sharks. Emailing me demanding his site be taken down, etc. I was able to go back through the group online and prove he'd been a member and it wasn't a one-time spam, which kept *my* provider from cutting me off (the sharks had also gone upstream of me).
"Zealots" isn't quite strong enough for those people.
