You could post it to the new NQC list/group, which is now up & running.

I have now joined a couple of the discussion groups, but haven't had any mail yet - I'll
post it when I do.

[remainder of this message is meta-discussion...]


because the server doesn't copy messages back to me (I wonder if I can change
that?).

The crynwr.com server doesn't?  Or the lugnet.com server doesn't?  AFAIK, both
send copies of messages out to everyone on the distribution list (including the
original sender), but they don't echo copies back to each other (or else there
would be an infinite mail loop).

I have not had any copies of my messages back from lego-robotics@crynwr.com, apart from
the one my software sends to me automatically (I still have to check to see if it is
dropping the real messages because they are duplicates).

Anyway, I figured out why 5 of your messages didn't make it into newsgroup
immediately immediately upon being received.  (Only messages from you were
causing a problem, BTW -- not any messages from other people...makes ya feel
extra special, huh? :)

Now that's one behemoth regex.  It looks valid, but it has a small bugaboo:
In addition to catching mails from most mailer-daemons, I believe it's also
matching the following header in your messages:

   X-Envelope-From: postmaster@jpsc.co.uk

Maybe it's a bugaboo in the regex for thinking that 'postmaster' is always a
server-generated poo-poo message, or maybe 'postmaster' technically shouldn't
be appearing in X-Envelope-From on your messages...I'm not an SMTP guru so

As far as I know there isn't any technical restriction on anything appearing in an X
header.

I'm not sure.  I'll have to figure out a workaround regardless.

Let me know if you can't and I'll see if I can post via a different method.

In the meantime, I've been sending your messages through the newsgroup gateway
by hand, so they've showed up a bit late, but rest assured that they haven't
been lost.

Thanks
