A *real* email address of course! Talking of Posteo is Sure. But this does not mean, that the either the provider or the public needs to know, which natural person uses a specific e-mail-address. > not just a whole new layer of complexity, but also irrelevant here, the > whole point being that you *should not* go the anonymous/pseudonymous > way, not on Usenet that is. Yes, I know some people still have this fetish, that doing public posts in the Usenet require that the poster can be identified and must not protect himself by using a pseudonym. But this is culture is obsolete nowadays, as we have so many examples how personal data is abused. At least RFC1855 wdoes *not* ask to use a real identity in public networks. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
