Amigo mail2news is not, and never has been,
anonymous/anonymizing (unlike the Amigo remailer). Amigo
mail2news automatically adds the IP address of the computer that
sends the message for insertion onto usenet. This may be a
personal computer, or, if the message has traversed the remailer
network, may be an exit remailer.

I cannot keep tabs on the IP addresses of all remailers and any
mail hosts they may use to deliver their messages. Amigo
mail2news will continue to add the IP address of the "posting"
machine. If any exit remailer does not want their IP address
listed as an NNTP posting host, please block Amigo mail2news.
