Andrea, try news.alterdial.uu.net.  This seems to be one of the most 
     complete news servers I have found.

Help...please. Does anyone know of a host for the newsgroup

alt.food.low-fat

I need to access this using IMAP or an NNTP server that does not need a
special account or password as the ISP that my company is on does not
carry any newsgroups.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks...I did but I get a message "400 host not recognized in the
autorization file.

Perhaps my santax is wrong

nntp = news.alterdial.uu.net

news folder = *{news.alterdial.uu.net/nntp}[]

Is that right?

The explanation is probably this: yakima.com is a news client of UUnet,
while deehoward.com is not:

bash$ host -a deehoward.com
deehoward.com           NS      DHC1.deehoward.com
deehoward.com           NS      NS2.TEXAS.NET
bash$ host -a yakima.com
yakima.com              NS      NS.UU.NET
yakima.com              NS      UUCP-GW-1.PA.DEC.COM
yakima.com              NS      UUCP-GW-2.PA.DEC.COM
