I have been following Debian User for a long time now, via the
UseNet group. Lately I have replied to an issue or 2 (via the
mailing list) but not all responses seem to make it to the UseNet.
Tried playing with the test groups? I use a free connection from
nntp.aioe.org, and I've seen nothing untoward.
Yes, I test my connection via the test groups a few times a week.
You'll se "Mitton" all over alt.test in particular.
Are there any others who access it this way and have you noticed
missing posts ... or is this possibly a problem with my usenet
server?
bofh.it gets borked from time to time, but those are soon sorted out.
Other than that, it just works. I prefer slrn with its
filtering/Scoring for usenet available lists.
I've been using Agent for a very long time and I'm just plain used to
navigating with it ... it works well for me. I try the newest versions
of the native clients but I keep going back to Agent ... for now at least.
You might want to also subscribe to whitelist@lists.debian.org - that
might help. You are posting from hotmail, after all. :-P
Well, I'm not really posting from HotMail, I just use that identity when I
post from Pine (or Agent via email) I don't like to use a "good" email
address on UseNet ... and you have to have a real one to get into this
mailing list. When I post directly to UseNet I use this hotmail address
and "obfuscate" it.
I'll have to look into what "whitelist" actually is.
Thanks!
