I'm having a problem with the moderation robot. I am a member of this

it out as follows:

linux.debian.user is a moderated newsgroup in gateway

Your article has been examined by the automatic moderation program
and has been refused because:

this hierarchy accepts posts only from registered users.
You can register for posting by subscribing to the
linux-gate@lists.bofh.it
mailing list. You can do so by sending a message with "subscribe" in the
body at the linux-gate-request@lists.bofh.it address or by visiting
http://lists.bofh.it/listinfo/linux-gate .

It's inconvenient since I have to go back to the webmail service, find
the post and reply there. Not a big deal but annoying. What could I do
to get by the robot?

That message is not from the debian list itself, but from the gateway
service you are using.

You can post directly to debian-user@lists.debian.org, which has no
moderation and requires no subscription for posting.

If you want to use this gateway, have you tried the instructions in the
message?


Thanks for the response. I didn't know I was using a gateway. All I know is that I signed up to Usenet-News.net to be able to access newsgroups and I can download these without problem in Icedove. I signed up via my gmail email service. If I post by sending an email using the web interface of gmail to debian-user@lists.debian.org (such as this message I am now writing) it gets into the newsgroup. If I use the Icedove interface I get this response from a moderation robot. I have no idea who "http://lists.bofh.it/listinfo/linux-gate"; is and how I get routed through them.

Icedove sends messages out via my ISP's SMTP server - maybe it's they who are routing it through this gateway. I'll try changing the outgoing server to google's SMTP if I can, before I post this and see if that works. If it does I'll post again.
