who supplies your Internet connection ?
I have BT Broadband .... usenet access is free. They carry almost all of the usenet groups.

News has nothing to do with email.
Nobody in their right mind uses gmail for anything.
I was with Pipex (which became talktalk or whatever) and they withdrew their free news service. So I then used aioe and eternal september. When I changed to BT fibre, my news continued to work as before, so I saw no point in changing things to the BT feed. I didn't even know they supplied one. ;-)
Uncle Sam watches all internet traffic ... with context monitoring algorithms ... so irrelevant who your provider is.
Any real anonymous services .. (anon.penet.fi) get closed down.
I disagree. I use gmail for disposable email accounts.
As you can see, I use a gmail address for Usenet postings.
(Not that I'm necessarily in my right mind. That's not for me to say.)
I run my own mail server (as do several others here). Mine will use TLS whenever the other end supports it. Good luck sniffing that.
What does email have to do with Usenet?
Why would anyone need a disposable email account?
One person I know - who directs stage plays - sets up a disposable account for each production. Once the play is over, he forgets about it. i'm sure others have goood reasons, too.
If you don't want to give out an email address you use normally.
Only "pretty decent", not good enough. Very little spam makes it to my inbox, maybe a little burst of two or three items a month. Junk folder has 21 items in it since 30 March. If I look in the logs there are attempts at sending spam several times to many times per hour
24/7 but they get rejected at the SMTP level.WTF has usenet got to do with gmail?
Quite. Or use a genuine reply to address as I do which is never used for anything else.
Usenet is only for us old farts anyway.
Why would you give out an email address you don't want a reply to? Or rather go to the bother of setting up lots and lots of 'disposable' email accounts?
If you get spam you know who sent it (or who shared your address) and you can ignore all further emails to that address.
I get virtually no spam and I only really use the one email address (this 'real' one) for everything. Definitely less spam than the number of 'fliers' I get from companies I've legitimately given my address to. ;-)
I hardly ever visit the server to see what spam it may have intercepted.
The short answer is that you can get usenet access elsewhere - you don't need to change ISP just because of that.
Regarding email address longevity, the only proper solution is to use your own domain, and then the mechanics of whatever service you are using can be hidden from the outside world and changed at will.
