Can someone send me a list of functioning mail-2-news gates?

You asked this before (on June 4) and I answered (on June 21), but I take it you weren't reading the list then. Briefly, Matt Ghio's list is the only publicly announced list I've found -- the pertinent Usenet FAQs point solely to his list. mailto:mg5n+remailers@andrew.cmu.edu for the current list. I don't know how much Matt's been updating it, but I have yet to find an alternative. My previous reply may be found at http://www.hks.net/cpunks/cpunks-15/1567.html [...]

Also, is there a method by which one can access (via netmail) a list of the newsgroups served by a given mail-2-news gate?

I'm not aware of any standard protocol for this. Try sending mail to system@, root@, etc. -Futplex <futplex@pseudonym.com> ObFlame1: Anon, if only nsb@fv *did* write copiously here ! ObFlame2: Brad D., at least make Orlin send this crap to the list himself
