Didn't you know about that Gmail feature? It's a pretty well-know annoyance by anyone using Gmail's smtp service and mailing lists. Not your case, though, as you are using an external nntp gateway. >> Anyway, if in doubt, checking mailing list archive can help to diagnose >> it: >> >> http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/01/mail5.html > > Doesn't the archive show posts that are already published?

Forget about your nntp server: if the e-mail is in the mailing list archive, anyone subscribed to this mailing list has received it. Your nntp server may have another internal problems (I know because I also use an nntp server and weird things happens...) but not related with the mailing list itself. >> No, Google groups are most like forums. > > Well yes, you're right.

Yes, you can post via Gmail's Groups but you are forced to use their web interface or an e-mail client (afaik, Google Groups do no use nntp) and I don't like that way. >> I mean posting through a "nntp" >> server, like Gmane... and know that I see, like your "aioe.org" news >> server.

Yes, there are some mailing lists that are not being archived by Gmane, but like you, in my case Gmane handles all the ones I want to follow :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
