I understand this position, since I use also gmane for many groups I read. I have also experienced the problem, that posting via gmane is not possible for such groups. The following options are available for postings from non-members: "Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined." Accept Hold Reject Discard Before we had used Accept. Yesterday I switched to Reject. What about using hold. But I am not sure, how this mail administration would work... I switched to Hold now. Now I try to send a test mail with a not subscribed mail address. Stefan. _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
