I think your messages made it to usenet too, I have seen serveral messages from blia in mod.computers.vax recently. The problem is at ucbvax (STILL Erik!). This is the path as the news arrived here ... News-Path: seismo!lll-crg!ames!ucbcad!ucbvax!ted@cgl.ucsf.edu@blia.UUCP See the @blia down the end? That means that any news version before 2.11 will not send this article to blia. I'm not yet convinced that 2.11 does any different (I posted an article to mod.computers.vax a few days ago, and haven't seen it back yet, and I know our feed, seismo, is running 2.11). Erik, please can you fix this! The Path line there is utter nonsense anyway, no-one is going to be able to use that for replies. Just make the Path start as ucbvax!no-such-user, then anyone silly enough to use that address for replies will get their mail bounced. This applies to all the internet lists that aren't really moderated (truly moderated ones aren't such a problem, but if one of those was also a usenet site, they would probably get none of their groups articles!) These groups are due to turn into unmoderated usenet groups soon, which will solve most of the problems even without action at ucbvax. Robert Elz kre@munnari.oz.au
