Easynews us a USENET providor, and it has a very important policy that they don't tell you about on their terms of service agreement, or at any point while you are signing up. The policy: they don't allow you to post to USENET by default. You have to ask for posting services, and then they only give you 200 posts a day for the first month.

To me, this is like paying a company for an email account, and then finding out that they will only let you receive email, not send it!

I don't have a problem with this policy per say; they claim its to reduce the amount of spam on USENET, a worthy goal. But they need to tell prospective customers about this up front, not after they've taken your money and you're wondering why you can't post!
