   By charter, some groups have MIME filters which prevent MIME messages   
   of any sort. An HTML message will not post. A MIME with image attachment   
   will not be accepted either. That's not an image filter as such -- the   
   image filter would be a tool that analyzes the body of the main message   
   and rejects the submission (on a non-MIME message where the image   
   is in-line).   
      
   Some read-only servers have stopped receiving messages,   
   which means they cannot be relied upon for completion.   
      
   An image-hosting server is all you need. But those, the   
   behavior can change on a daily basis. Like the advertising   
   based server where the advertising seems to be turned off,   
   very weird.
