Someone set up an SMTP->NNTP gateway. It's one-way. Posts via NNTP
go no farther than NNTP. The real list is distributed via SMTP.

Not surprising.

Why is that?

That works for reading.

Correct. Postings must be made via SMTP.

A good solution is to use some tool (eg procmail, maildrop or exim) to
sort your mail into separate folders for separate purposes. Then your
personal mail, debian list mail, and other list mail will be separate.
Also use something like spamassassin to weed out the junk mail.
Another option is to have multiple email addresses and use different
addresses for different purposes.
