I'm posting this from a user account on jtan.com. My home IP is dynamic (changes are several days apart or longer but unpredictable). IPs are Assigned from sbcglobal.net. I've been connecting to gmane for about 2yrs from there. Attempting to connect to gmane doesn't cause any error ouput but the nntp-log buffer shows: 20060215T192337.798 news.gmane.org MODE READER 20060215T192337.938 news.gmane.org LIST Then nothing else happens. Seems like my connection is silently sent into a blackhole or something. I can't tell if its a local problem or not. I thought it might tell something to telnet a post but after what seems like a normal connection I get this message on send: 441 You are not allowed to post to gmane.discuss Any ideas on how to debug this? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I doubt that this is a Gnus problem. Is your IP (or IP range) listed in <URL:http://gmane.org/denied.php>? If you can't post to gmane.discuss via NNTP, you might want to use the web interface <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.discuss>.

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 > in <URL:http://gmane.org/denied.php>? 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 > gmane.discuss via NNTP, you might want to use the web interface > <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.discuss>. Thats how I sent these messages. But how do I get undenied... is it appropriate to write to gmane.discuss for stuff like that? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Yes. See e.g. the recent thread "news.gmane.org blocking german users?".
