Is anyone else noticing that the m2n at anon.lcs.mit.edu hasn't worked in the past week? It used to be extremely fast and reliable... now m2n posts to alt.test just don't make it at all...even when posting directly (with telnet).
As far as I know things are working well. If you can read this message, then the problem is probably with the way you are trying to post (possibly a remailer you are using went bad). If you can't read this message, then your ISP may have started blocking messages through this news server.
Do you have any idea which ISPs may be doing that? What's their rationale? This is the first I'd heard of such a practice. Are they blocking all posts from all mail2news gateways or just yours? To all NGs, or just to alt.test? Also, there seems to be one censorious nutcase out there who seems to think he's on a mission from God to "despam" alt.test! I don't know who the heck thinks a *TEST* NG needs his brand of "ethnic" cleansing, but just look at all the cancel messages in the "control" NG for posts to alt.test. --
