But when I replied to that key posting where the newsgroup
name mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey was substituted (due to your
followup setting) for mozilla.support.seamonkey -- doing
nothing special except hitting "Reply" -- I got that error
message. I replied from this account with these settings and I
was rejected, so it logically follows that I have to be
subscribed to that group in order to post. Or doesn't it?

It may have just been a network issue. Try again.

Exactly the same result two days later.

I don't know. Try it with add-ons disabled.

Just tried that, no joy.

I really think it's because I'm not subscribed. Nothing else accounts
for this.

Just subscribed, and the message went through instantly on the first
try. Ed was right.

Paul, as ChrisI mentioned, a couple of days ago he posted to moz.test to
check out if he had a problem. I'm fairly certain (or I'd assume) that
ChrisI would have been subscribed to moz.test previously, and for this
test post, which worked, I guess he un-subscribed, posted the test
message, then re-subscribed to check.

I'm wondering if there might have been some sort of machine memory at
work in this case .... i.e. ChrisI's 'puter or the Moz server
"remembered" that ChrisI had been subscribed to the server, so when this
test post rocked up, it was let through, where as you, Paul, may never
have been subscribed to moz.test/m.d.a.seamonkey (which I think was the
original "problem" group), so when your message showed up, Paul, it/they
were rejected.

Paul, if you think what I've hypothesised above makes any sort of sense,
can you subscribe to moz.test, post a message, check it arrives,
un-subscribe from group, send another test, re-subscribe and see if
things are different to your current situation?

(Do I really want to post this "drivel"?? If nothing else, it might
prove a negative. O.K.)

just to jump in....I've x-posted to moz.gen from a machine that's never
been subscribed and it worked.  So that case disproves the "have to
subscribe to post" theory for one computer in the world but not much else.

Thanks for your contribution, Geoff. I'm confused!! Some can, some cannot!!
