But the gmane.org can be read with nntp too, which is a great feature.

Rules at http://gmane.org/import.php state that the list owner / admin
should do this. At leat he should mail Lars to tell that he agrees.

Oh, your address is in rt.fm domain, so probably you are the list
owner?

Preferably the archive file should come from the mailing list server,
and not from a subscribers sopy, because a list subscribers copy will
have more unnessesary headers added (Received:, etc), and we should
save disk space and most importantly bandwith and time of people
reading the archive, especially via nntp.

I have no idea what Maildir looks like. Is it "a tar file of a
one-message-per-file directory, where the files have names that
increase numerically"? If yes, it is also acceptable at gmane.org

P.S. In my last post "UTL" was obviously "URL". Sorry...

BTW: I can only post to this list through nntp://news.gmane.org/ 
because I send my e-mail from a computer named tarnica.ctnet.pl while 
my e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] My exim issues this command 
while sending e-mail:

SMTP Command: MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

and I think that is right, because the mail comes from tarnica.ctnet.pl
But the mailing list server rejects my e-mail, and it complains that 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is not subscribed to the list. I'm subscribed 
with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that is the address at which I receive mail.
I subscribe 40 mailing lists, and no other list has any problems about 
this, only the ion list.
