So to properly "spoof" the Newsreader and set up an account to >post I had to start with a valid email provider (gmail.com) and then put >"none" as the user. And that satisfied my Nazi Newsreader (Thunderbird). Why not use something like "nosuchisp.com" instead of "gmail.com"? Or use ".invalid" instead of ".com" the way "they" (the creators of RFCs) want you to do when deliberately using an invalid email address? That way, if someone "replies" to one of your posts instead of posting a followup, they won't bother the owner of "none@gmail.com" (if there is one). But no, you poked the big bear (Google) with a sharp stick, and now you wonder why it's pissed at you...
