I don't think you can actually be kicked off Google Groups. Isn't it open to anyone with an account? If you have an account, can you log in? (I could be wrong -- I don't actually use it for various reasons which I'm happy to share if anyone cares but aren't actually germane to the issue at hand.) My issues were different. I'm posting via Usenet, and my ISP piggy-backs off some other Usenet hosting company. Occasionally they have temporary issues with posts being broken, either permanently or (in the most recent case) temporarily. > Anyway for the last couple of days I'm getting mail bounces after > about 24 hours to all my posts (via GG) Sounds like a problem with GG, probably some temporary misconfiguration with one of their servers which will be attended to once Google get a round tuit. > So trying a different route -- Does this reach? > > [And if it does...

I have no idea if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but its a thing. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
