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.
