Fair enough, but occasionally people post in a vacuum, so to speak. Here are two (News) message-ID's of articles posted to the debian-user gateway as News which never reached the mailing-list. Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -article sent to the gateway only Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -article sent to the gateway only > Everybody can post after > registering their own email address with the authorisation mailing list, > as explained in the message sent to unauthorised users. Huh? I posted in reply to Colin on the list from a saved News- article, without being subscribed to the list. However, I never received any message about registering my email address? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -my gated article sent successfully to the list without my being subscribed and editing message headers by hand to preserve threading. The point is that some confusion exists some of the time. Some people reading Usenet and who have a question suitable for the debian-user list think the list is a newsgroup and post accordingly, or have difficulties doing news2mail - myself included. Most people posting to other gated Debian lists might be expected to have more clue about how this works. But this is a gateway to the User list and I think it would be best if details about news2mail were made as blindingly obvious as possible. Can anything (more) be done to clarify how the d-u gateway works for news2mail? Tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
