So you're using another method to access a mail list. Is the list
supposed to accomodate that?
Gmane will not allow you to post to a mailing list unless you are
subscribed to the list in email form. I'm not sure about other mailing
list <=> usenet gateways, though.
Not true. You do not have to be subscribed to the email list in order
to use Gmane. That would defeat the whole purpose of using a newsgroup.
See http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html
E-mails that are sent by subscribers to the mailing lists are
automatically forwarded to the relevant Newsgroup. Conversely, posts
to a Newsgroup are forwarded to the appropriate mailing list. That
is, the operation of Gmane is bidirectional. It is not necessary to
be subscribed to a mailing list to be able to post to a Newsgroup.
The Gmane system uses its own authorization process. Thus, to post
to a Newsgroup, do the following:
* Post a message to the appropriate Newsgroup. You will receive
an authorization request from Gmane.
* Reply to that request.
* Your post will then appear in both the Gmane newsgroup and it
will also appear on the mailing list.
* You will need to be authorized for each Newsgroup to which you
post (but only once per group)
