Hi,

Note that linux.debian.user is a read-only group. Messages sent to the 
debian-user mailing list show up here as well, but it cannot take messages.

gmane.linux.debian.user is read and write. But first you need to post a 
message to that newsgroup with a valid email address. You will be sent 
an email to which you have to reply. Only after can you post messages on 
gmane.linux.debian.user. This is explained on gmane website (I think in 
Posting section). To test your postings you can use gmane.test

And the pre-requisite is that you must have subscribed to the 
debian-user mailing list (I think with the same email address that you 
use when you post to gmane newsgroups).

HTH,
