[news.admin] bounced mail

hello out there:

i have a problem which i hope i can get answered here -- if this is the
wrong group, i am sorry!!

i have been doing the nixpub listing for half a year or so and recently
i started cross posting to comp.misc (in addition to pubnet.nixpub).  this
was started primarily because of inconsistant pubnet connections.  the
problem is that each time i post the listings, i eventually get mail back
(bounced) because the posting cannot be delivered to:
		pubnet-nixpub@decwrl.dec.com
my question is ... who out there in netland is re-routing my postings??
if someone owns up to this, i'd like to know why.  if no one steps forward,
how can i get this fixed??

any help would be appreciated.

Hopefully, *every* site in pubnet is rerouting the posting.  This newsgroup
was created as "moderated" by nixpub@warble.uucp, and this was never
changed.  Either, (1) you need to start putting an "Approved:" header in
your messages *and* tell the folks in pubnet.config what to use as the
moderator's address and mailpaths, or (2) issue a newsgroup message which
resets pubnet.mixpub as unmoderated.  (I unilaterally took step 2 locally
several months ago when this problem first surfaced.)
