My hypothesis, then, is that Gmane does try to send you the confirmation
message but that this ends up in your Gmail spam folder.  Did you check
there?

To clarify, are you posting directly to the mailing list with
Thunderbird, or to Gmane?  Being blocked from Gmane and blocked from the
"upstream" mailing list are not the same thing; that's completely
different machines, with different administrators, and potentially
different lists of IPs suspected of spam.

Your description of the order of events, though, makes it sound like the
message was delivered to Gmane but the required confirmation email was
mislaid somehow.

Best,
Will
