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.
