No. The LFS news server was taken down as no-one could get it working reliably. The gmane newsservers have the same fuctionality and cover most, but not all,LFS mailing lists. There are some slight name changes though, so beware. You could add this: <para>The BLFS mailing lists are also accessible via the gmane NNTP server. All messages posted to a mailing list will be copied to its correspondent newsgroup. It is also possible to post to BLFS mailing lists via the gmane newsgroup, however you will be asked to verify your first such mailing. This service is not provided by the BLFS team, so see http://gmane.org/ for full details.</para> <para>The following table lists the newsgroup corresponding to each mailing list:<para> <bulleted-list-cant-remember-the-tag> <item>blfs.dev gmane.linux.lfs.beyond.devel</item> <item>blfs.book gmane.linux.lfs.beyond.book</item> <item>blfs.support gmane.linux.lfs.beyond.support</item> </bulleted-list-cant-remember-the-tag> or something along those lines. But I think I'd rather you did the sort of thing I had in my first post. Just for info, although I'm subscribed to the (b)lfs mailing lists, I have delivery set 'off' and read and write the lists entirely via gmane.
