Best way to receive netbsd.org list messages?



Subject line may look strange, but I am having trouble with Yahoo email server, which includes bellsouth.net and att.net.

So I am looking to switch.

Do I do better to switch to another account @twc.com, aol.com or gmx.net, or use gmane with NNTP software?  There are NNTP packages for Linux, *BSD, Haiku, even DOS (let's not forget mutt).

I get messages like

$ mpop attyahoo3s
mueller6724%bellsouth.net@localhost at pop.att.yahoo.com:
new: 3 messages in 25.75 KiB, total: 4 messages in 72.38 KiB
retrieving message 2 of 4 (9.08 KiB): 100%
mpop: cannot read from TLS connection: the connection was closed unexpectedly
mpop: error during mail retrieval (account attyahoo3s from /home/arlene/.mpoprc)
$ mpop attyahoo3s
mueller6724%bellsouth.net@localhost at pop.att.yahoo.com:
new: 4 messages in 32.21 KiB, total: 6 messages in 87.92 KiB
retrieving message 3 of 6 (8.07 KiB): 100%
mpop: cannot read from TLS connection: the connection was closed unexpectedly
mpop: error during mail retrieval (account attyahoo3s from /home/arlene/.mpoprc)


I can also say that some list messages go to bellsouth.net spam folder (using mueller6724%bellsouth.net@localhost email address), and I don't see any way to disable or modify their spam filter.

I don't expect anybody on this list to help with problems at Yahoo's end, but somebody might be able to say how they fare with gmane.

Tom
