How does the mailing-list-usenet gateway work?

2000-09-28 Thread Joe Emenaker



Stuff sent to the mailing list shows up on 
linux.debian.user. 

My question is, does stuff posted to 
linux.debian.user go to the mailing list? In fact, I tried posting to the 
newsgroup and it didn't even show up on the newsgroup itself? Does the newsgroup 
support posting?

Perhaps it is a good thing it has been discontinued, since nobody here is
obscuring their email address to avoid Usenet spam harvesters.

Good point (seriously). What (else) would you suggest?

I'd just leave the Usenet gateway down.

Even so, there is still a problem with harvesters spidering
http://lists.debian.org/, which contains all the mailing list archives,
complete with friendly mailto links for all the authors.
