My problem was a bad From entry. I was playing with some stuff,
testing someone's theory that since spam harvesters only look at the
>From header that by having a bad from and a correct Reply-To one could
reduce spam stuff. After finally looking in the *Messages* buffer it
became obvious what was going on:
-----------
Loading mail-extr...
Loading mail-extr...done
Denied posting -- the From looks strange: "Daniel Monjar".
No methods specified to send by
-----
So I removed the From entry in .gnus:
-----
Sending...
There is no From line. Posting is denied.
No methods specified to send by
------
Guess it's looking for a '@' in the From?:
------
Sending...
Loading cl-seq...
Loading cl-seq...done
Sending...done
------
All is working now. Less than helpful error message though.
Thanks for the replies!

I was having the same problem earlier today, I have attached a patch,
which will save the helpful error message in the minibuffer.
Cheers,
