I am running Cnews on a Sun 4/260 running OS4.0.3. (nntp)
Is there a reason why my articles don't always get posted? I tried
to post to comp.sys.sun, and all looked like it went well, but when
I looked in /var/spool/news/out.going there was nothing there. I
then tried to post to misc.test, and it went out ok. This has
happened a couple times now. Any ideas why?
Thanks.

He/she then makes the articles show up. comp.sys.sun's had a bit of lag time lately, but Bob Greene said he's working to try to improve it. -- Brendan Kehoe - Widener Sun Network Manager - brendan@cs.widener.edu Widener University in Chester PA A Bloody Sun-vs-Dec War Zone Top Ten Surprises in Rocky V -- Number 5, Loveable Character Chewbacca Dies

Comp.sys.sun is a moderated newsgroup, and you are not allowed to post to it yourself. Assuming things are configured right, your posting got mailed to the moderator for his consideration. -- "The average pointer, statistically, |Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology points somewhere in X." -Hugh Redelmeier| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry

Check your /usr/lib/news/mailpaths file. This should contain the e-mail addresses for the moderators of the various groups. comp.sys.sun is moderated while misc.test is not. Gary Barber, UGA
