Difficulty in posting to r.a.s.
Hi,
For some reason I have recently only been able to post to r.a.s. via Google Groups, although I can still post to the UK equivalents through gliderpilot.net. This started at the time of the Scam email from Nigeria. Has my email address for some reason been added to the Spam folder for gp.net r.a.s.? Or is there a technical problem? I get the message that my posting will appear in about 15 minutes, but it never appears! Andy please help? Derek Copeland |

I know some turn up their nose at it, but it works just fine for me. For free access to an NNTP server, try http://www.eternal-september.org/ See my sig for other possibilities. - Vaughn .................................................. ....... Nothing personal, but if you are posting through Google Groups I may not receive your message. Google refuses to control the flood of spam messages originating in their system, so on any given day I may or may not have Google blocked. Try a real NNTP server & news reader program and you will never go back. All you need is access to an NNTP server (AKA "news server") and a news reader program. You probably already have a news reader program in your computer (Hint: Outlook Express). Assuming that your Usenet needs are modest, use http://www.cnntp.org/ and/or, http://news.aioe.org/ and/or http://www.motzarella.org/ and/or https://www.x-privat.org/index.php for free, and/or http://www.teranews.com/ for a one-time $3.95 setup fee. Newsguy, http://www.newsguy.com/ offers a variety of reasonably priced services. If you wish to experiment with real Usenet access, they will give you a free 2-day trial account. ........ |

I always used the non-free version because its excellent killfile facilities were disabled in the free version. I said 'used' because I no longer use Windows, so my newsreader of choice is now Pan. I tried Thunderbird (also available for Windows) but didn't like it much as of somewhat over a year ago: it may have improved since then. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |

Yes, but why can't I just post directly to gliderpilot.net, as I have
always been able to do in the past, and still can on uras? Incidentally I have tried a couple more postings and they still are not getting through.

Incidentally I have tried a couple more postings and they still are not getting through. r.a.s and u.r.a.s are quite different animals though I understand they look the same on gliderpilot.net. u.r.a.s is purely a web forum hosted on the gliderpilot.net website. AFAIK it can't be accessed except via gliderpilot.net and probably consists of a message database on that website plus programs that allow it to be accessed from a web browser. r.a.s is an Internet newsgroup that exists and operates independently of any web site though it is mapped onto a webforum-like display by gliderpilot.net, google groups and (probably) a few other websites. Posts to it are shipped between newsgroup servers by using the NNTP protocol much the same as e-mail is shipped between mail servers with the SMTP protocol. The only major difference is that posts on newsgroups are broadcast to all news servers while e-mail messages are sent only to the mail server(s) that support the recipient(s). Judging by what you say there's a problem in the depths of gliderpilot.net that affects its ability to access r.a.s and any other newsgroups it is subscribed to. Tell gliderpilot.net there's a problem with r.a.s and ask them to fix it. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |
