Not for lack of trying... I tried at the remote machine mentioned in from 
address above.  I tried by telnet and by web interface.

I didn't think so either but hoped some of the savvy users here would know how 
to debug a network problem. 
 
 Is your IP (or IP range) listed

Yikes ... yes it is `.dsl.emhril.ameritech.net' 
 
Why would that be?  Egad it might be due to a change I made in which servers 
were under the agent.  At about the time frame as this problem I put gmane 
under agent (it is a foreign group on my setup)  I did notice some hefty 
downloads happening after that and just assumed my 10-12 gmane groups were 
downloading old messges. 
Do you suppose that could get me blackballed at gmane? 
 
If you can't post to

Thats how I sent these messages. 
 
But how do I get undenied... is it appropriate to write to gmane.discuss for 
stuff like that?
