Mailman is totally unpredictable

The only thing going for it is that it is open source

I don't know why but there seem to be at least two kinds of news
servers as for the gnu.emacs.gnus newsgroup; [1]one allows nntp
posting but doesn't forward articles to the list, [2]the other
doesn't allow nntp posting but forwards articles posted to the
list to the newsgroup.  Some of [2] may moderate nntp-posted
articles, i.e. forward articles to the list.  For example:

[1] news.eternal-september.org
[2] news.individual.net

Both are open to people for free but both don't forward nntp-
posted articles to the list. :-<  I guess this problem is due to
some newsservers that took it for granted that the group is
moderated.  As for [2] the nntp command `list newsgroups' returns:

gnu.emacs.gnus	News reading under GNU Emacs using GNUS (in English). (Moderated)
(There's no entry for gnu.emacs.gnus in [1].)

Whereas isc.org says in
ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/newsgroups.gz
as:

gnu.emacs.gnus		News reading under GNU Emacs using GNUS (in English).

A possible workaround may be the one like this article. ;-)

mail list alive? gatewayed?

I sent a msg to this mailing list (info-gnus-english@gnu.org) on the
12th.
Reiner Steib replied to the newsgroup gnu.emacs.gnus with a CC to me.
I received the CC but not the msg posted to the newsgroup.

I had thought that the newsgroup and mailing list had bidirectional
forwarding.  Is this belief correct and, if so, any idea why reiner's
msg to the newsgroup has not appeared on the mailing list?
I also checked
http://www.mail-archive.com/info-gnus-english@gnu.org/maillist.html 
and the latest msgs are from the 12th.

thanks,
