Hi all;

I have been following Debian User for a long time now, via the UseNet
group. Lately I have replied to an issue or 2 (via the mailing list) but
not all responses seem to make it to the UseNet.

Are there any others who access it this way and have you noticed missing
posts ... or is this possibly a problem with my usenet server?

TIA!

(This is such a high volume mailing list that the UseNet access is a nice
alternative to a full mailbox all the time.)

Long time back, I had similar problems with usenet. Now a days, I am using
gmane news server. It works without any problems whatsoever.

I completely agree. Now a days, for all the public mailing lists, I use
gmane. I use my email account only for personal mail. Makes it much easier
to organize ones time and disk space.

Tried playing with the test groups? I use a free connection from
nntp.aioe.org, and I've seen nothing untoward.

bofh.it gets borked from time to time, but those are soon sorted out.
Other than that, it just works. I prefer slrn with its
filtering/Scoring for usenet available lists.

You might want to also subscribe to whitelist@lists.debian.org - that
might . You are posting from hotmail, after all. :-P
