[news.admin] CA and UNINETT Gateways failing?

netnews@PT.CS.CMU.EDU (USENET News Group Software) (01/30/88)

We got some mailer error reports in response to a recent posting to
comp.lang.c.  Judging from the "To:" lines cited, comp.lang.c articles
are being turned into mail in order to pass them to the Arpa INFO-C
mailing list, and the failure is occurring somewhere downstream from
there.  Would the keepers of the relevant gateways care to look into it?

There may be two different gateways involved here ... notice that the
headers of the two returned messages don't match up (e.g., only one has
a Posted-Date: line.)
