OK, I just posted a message (reply, actually) in .loc.au and it turned up in
.org.au - for loc.au it was message no. 2811 and org.au it was 759, and I
swear I haven't told anything to post to both groups, just loc.au - explain
this one please!  ;-)

I have Outlook Express set up to only post to the newsgroup it finds the
message in, if there is something else I should set to make it not send
copies to other newsgroups, I would appreciate any info that anyone has on
how to turn that particular 'feature' off!

FYI, it turned up within seconds of being posted as far as I could tell.
Are you still sure you haven't got anything automatic set up?

Cheers ...

No, that's not true, actually.  There are no newsgroups here on the entire
server where posting to one automatically crossposts to another.  If you
see something crossposted, it's because someone did it manually or replied
to a message which was already crossposted or contained a crossposted
followup-to directive.

(...) You posted a crossposted reply to a crossposted message. (...) That's a bad feature -- a newsreader should never remove crossposted groups unless you tell it to or unless the 'Followup-To:' header contains a more restricted list. (...) (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
