I. Send messages to News Groups Anonymously through Gravity/OmniMix
(The Gravity program can also be used to download and read news when
combined with OmniMix. It cannot send email messages through the
remailer system, however, as MesNews can.)
Purpose of this document: This document will attempt to briefly explain
how to set up an additional free news client called Gravity. It is assumed that
you have already downloaded, installed, and set up OmniMix as instructed in
these sections:
MesNews with OmniMix - Preparations:
Installations:
OmniMix Setup:
Preparations:
Go to the link below and download the following program:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mpgravity
(Click on the latest build (Gravity 2.7.1 Build 4 as of 11-21-2008) to
download the Gravity program. The download file should look something like:
'setup-mpgravity-2.7.1b.4.exe'.)
Installation and Setup:
Step 1: Install Gravity by double clicking on the '.exe'.
Step 2: Start OmniMix first.
Step 3: Start Gravity.
Step 4: In the 'MicroPlanet Gravity Server Setup' window, enter the following.
Full name: anon (or anonymous ).
Organization: anon (or anonymous ).
e-mail address: anon@domain.invalid (or
anonymous@anonymous.com)
Reply address for post: anon@domain.invalid (or
anonymous@anonymous.com)
Step 5: Then click on the Servers tab.
Step 6: News server nickname: Gravity
Step 7: News server address: localhost
Step 8: Check 'Log on using:'.
Step 9: Enter this line into the 'Name:' box without the quotes:
"omnimix;ht=news.mixmin.net;pt=119;tl=e;to=no"
Step 10: Enter this into the 'Password:' box: omnimix
Step 11: Click 'OK'.
Step 12: You should then see Gravity 'Receiving news group names' at the
bottom of the program interface. Wait until it acquires these and the
'Subscribe to Newsgroup' window pops up. Then scroll down to the
various news groups you want to subscribe to, click on the line, and
then click the 'Add' button. There is a convenient search box in the top
right corner to use also. After you have selected all of your groups, it is
then very important that you highlight each news group in the 'Selected
Groups:' window and then select 'save article bodies' from the 'Storage
Mode:' drop down box (you can select them all at once by clicking the
top line, hold down the shift key, and then press the end key). After
selecting your news group(s), click 'Done'.
Step 13: Now right click on each new group you have selected and click the
'Properties...' menu item. Then click the 'Overrides' tab, check the
'Override custom headers' check box, and type or paste the following
into the 'Custom headers' box:
O-Anon-Send: Yes
O-Anon-From: Non
O-Newsgate-Active: Yes
O-Newsgate-Address: mail2news@bananasplit.info,mail2news@dizum.com,mail2news@reece.net.au
O-Remailer-Chain: 0 0 0 0
O-Remailer-Copies: 4
Then click 'OK' and do this again for any remaining news groups you
have chosen.
Step 14: Now double click on a news group line under 'Newsgroups' to start the
news group download.
