It looks like the common factor in both cases is that the postings were posted through Google Groups itself onto their view of the perl.dbi.users newsgroup. It seems that postings made in this way don't get back to nntp.perl.org (where they exist as newsgroups - they're not part of the Usenet hierarchy proper), and so also don't make it to the corresponding mailing lists. If this is the case, then it seems that Google Groups should either make their version of the group read-only (this would seem to be the most sensible option since it's really a mailing list you should subscribe to), or fix the apparent propagation problem from postings made on their interface back to the source (nntp.perl.org). -- Andy Hassall :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://www.andyh.co.uk http://www.andyhsoftware.co.uk/space :: disk and FTP usage analysis tool
