Re: How to post to linux.debian.user
Thanks for the suggestions. My ISP doesn't carry the gmane newsgroups, and
I can't figure out how to make my newsreader subscribe to more than one
news server. So I'll just use the mailing list for the few messages I need
to send.

P.S. The requirement to use a real email address in this public mailing
list is a big problem. I was recently flooded by 3000 spams over a three
day period, essentially blocking my access to email on that address,
disrupting my communication with students, etc. I believe this address got
on the "starting list" for the swen spam, because I used it in posting to a
newsgroup. After that, I set my newsreader's return address to
shuvit@127.0.0.1

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,
->HS
