I bit the bullet and registered with my real email address. The email from solani reiterates "If you don't want to use your real E-Mail-address, please use an address from the top-level-domain ".invalid""

Where/how do I do that now that I've registered? They don't seem to understand that, to me, giving them my real email address just to sign up is the same as "publishing" it.

Here's one you don't need to register/sign up to use:

As for Solani:

> The email from solani reiterates "If you don't want to use your real E-Mail-address, please use an address from the top-level-domain ".invalid""

They mean on posts you make to Usenet. Put that ".invalid" address in the From field on your Newsreader.

You should probably check with Solani if they display your IP address on posts though (NNTP-Posting-Host), because some news servers do.
