   Hi Carlos,   
      
   I guess I'm confused 'cuz I've never done it, and, of course, I care about   
   privacy so the email it's sent from must be a throwaway email but even so   
   how do we insert the required NNTP-required HEADERS into that email?   
      
    $ sendmail misc-taxes-moderated@moderators.isc.org < article.txt   
      
   My question is in what format do we add the HEADERS into that email?   
   Do we just prepend the headers as part of the body of the email?   
      
      From: (mandatory Usenet header?)   
      Newsgroups: (mandatory Usenet header?)   
      Subject: (mandatory Usenet header?)   
      Date: (mandatory Usenet header?)   
      Message-ID: (optional perhaps?)   
      Organization: (optional)   
      Content-Type: (if needed)   
      ...and then a blank line, followed by the article text...   
      This is the body of my Usenet post.   
      --   
      Test sig.   
      
   Q: Are those headers to be in the 'body' of the message to the mods?   
   A: ?   
      
      
   THE REST OF THIS POST IS A FAILED ATTEMPT AT ADDING SENDMAIL ON WINDOWS:   
      
   Since sendmail doesn't exist per se on the Windows command line, I just   
   looked it up, and there is apparently a way to use smtp servers.   
       
   But you still need to set the SMTP server:   
    smtp.mail.yahoo.com   
    smtp.comcast.net   
    smtp.office365.com   
    mail.twc.com   
    smtp.mail.att.net   
    smtp.gmail.com   
    etc.   
      
   Apparently some people install a tiny local fake SMTP relay that forwards   
   to a real SMTP server using a fake sendmail.exe for Windows executable.   
    smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com   
    smtp_port=587   
    auth_username=youraccount@gmail.com   
    auth_password=yourapppassword   
      
   C:\> sendmail.exe misc-taxes-moderated@moderators.isc.org < article.txt   
           
      
   Unfortunately, I can't find any reliably available, actively hosted,   
   trustworthy download link for the classic Windows "Fake Sendmail"   
   (sendmail.exe) that used to be bundled with PHP on Windows.   
      
   Options might be blat, mailsend-ng, msmtp (vis msys2 or cygwin) or wsl.
