I've been collecting redhat.fedora from gmane for several years, but about a week ago I found that while I could read gmane newsgroups I was unable to post to them - that is, my posts did not appear. I was able to post to gmane.test, and could read these posts. So I assume there is no problem with my From: or other headers. I take it that the gmane.linux.centos.general is in fact "mirroring" the mailman mailing list <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos> Assuming this is so, I don't know whether the problem lies with the list or with the newsgroup? I seem to be properly subscribed to the mailing list, with my current email address. Any enlightenment or advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

I found that I can indeed post to the centos newsgroup. But for some reason I cannot post directly to the corresponding Fedora newsgroup, gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general, though I can send email the corresponding mailing list, users at lists.fedoraproject.org . Why can I post to one gmane newsgroup, and not to the other? I am subscribed to both mailing lists, and everything is exactly the same in the two cases. If anyone can cast light on this phenomenon, I should be very grateful. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

It's not a newsgroup.Evidently you are not familiar with gmane. This is a newsgroup server that mirrors various mailing lists <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane> including this mailing list, to which I am subscribed, and which is mirrored in the newsgroup <gmane.linux.centos.general>.> Is the CentOS newsgroup you're talking about a real usenet newsgroup? If > so, what's the name, comp.os.centos, or some such?I posted my query to the gmane newsgroup described above, and it thereupon found its way to the CentOS mailing list, where you presumably read it. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin
