Ok, perhaps I'm overreacting, but it seems that NNTP replying is broken. A
reply to my own post seems to have just gone in the bit bucket. Hmm, I was
getting authentications almost immediately, now I'm still haven't got one for a
test post.

Well, Todd had said he really wanted to avoid having to do authentication. I
had supposed that it could be done without too much pain, but it looks like
it's pretty painful. I hope this doesn't cause folks to give up on Lugnet, I
feel like my posting may go way down, I'm not sure yet.

I think you're right -- something is broken.  I'm sure it's entirely
fixable.  I'll enable more logging and get to the bottom of it.  Likely,
it's something broken in the code I just added.  It's extremely rare (as far
as I'm aware) that lugnet.com's outgoing or incoming mail is lost; in my
experience it's been super-reliable, except for times of DNS outages, but
that doesn't appear to be the case here.

I see 6 messages from you (Frank) in the pending area.  I'll ask the server
to resend emails for each of these, and we'll see what happens, and if it
comes up with some weird errors or something.

Just got the authenticates for those. None of those are the ones which
didn't make it.

(...) Oh! OK, hmmm... Thanks, that's good to know. Hmmm, must generate more clues. :-) OK, so at least it's consistant in that when it decides to drop something, it's not even putting it in the pending area. (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
