I presume the reason is financial. If the email you sent to the list is rejected by the list you should receive a notification which gmail will display. The easiest way to check that your email to the list has been processed is to check:- http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/recent
If you use Firefox/Iceweasel you can use this search extension:- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/debian-user/ Please allow at least half an hour between posting and checking. NOTE: it is very, very rare for your posts to the list not to be published. You can set up a separate free webmail account and use it as the replyto address in emails to the list from your gmail account, then set up forwarding from that account to your gmail account. You can set up your own email server, or purchase an email service somewhere. I don't know if other free webmail services display list posting either - perhaps other users can advise. Please *don't* post HTML messages to the list, they can contain malware, consume more bandwidth and storage space, and many of us object to receiving them. Please see this simple guide for configuring plain text in gmail:- http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists#HowTo_send_plain_text_emails_to_the_list Cheers -- Iceweasel/Firefox extensions for finding answers to Debian questions:- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/Scott_Ferguson/debian/ NOTE: new update available for Debian Buttons (New button for querying Debian Developer Package):- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/debian-buttons/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
