Thanks for all your comments.  I can post to the Gnus list fine now
(via Gmane, and using Gnus) so the problem is solved.  However, it
took several weeks before I was added to the database of authorised
posters and because I had come to expect a Gmane Auto-authoriser
message when posting to mailing lists gatewayed through Gmane I
thought something was amiss.

It never occurred to me that list might be moderated by a non-silicon
based lifeform.
