No sign in or registration required but abuse is strictly controlled and
you could be banned. Don't mess it. The free service is in decline as is
the newsgroups!!

There are other free servers but they require registration using your
email address. They also control abuse rigorously. I don't use any of
them because I hate to give my email to anybody. Even my friends and
relations keep complaining that they can't contact me via email because
they don't have my working email!. they get my phone number because I
can track their number easily.

Not surprising since its owner died a few months ago. Too bad, it was
one of the last surviving early local ISPs.

Why don't you register your own domain and generate addresses per use? I
do it and I can easily track and remove spam this way.
