That rule isn't valid, you can either send a specific group to
an email address, or a wild card to a domain (dnews prepends the newsgroup
name to the to address)
e.g.
group=discuss.group.one [EMAIL PROTECTED]
group=discuss.group.two [EMAIL PROTECTED]
group=discuss.group.three [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or
groups=discuss.* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And dnews would in the second case send messages to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
In your mail server you could configure a rule to redirect
*[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you still can't get any posts then you may have a missing smtp entry
in newsfeeds.conf, you should have:
...
site mail.compaq.com (or whatever your local smtp server is called)
smtp
And the last thing you need to check is that mail server is not
dropping the messages for some reason.
