news:gmane.linux.bios.flashrom (flashroom@): got unsubscribed?

	Apparently, the flashrom@ mailing list traffic isn't properly
	forwarded to Gmane [1].  Indeed, it seems that all the messages
	archived there were propagated through one or more of the other
	Gmane-ized lists instead.

	I've asked flashrom-owner@ to fix the problem (as I believe that
	Gmane somehow got unsubscribed from the list), but it may make
	sense if someone at Gmane could check if there's a problem on
	the Gmane side instead.  (Apparently, the messages are still
	being forwarded in the opposite direction.)

	TIA.

Problem in group gmane.comp.python.rope?

Why in group gmane.comp.python.rope, reference to the article through
message-id does not seem to work, for example, open
http://mid.gmane.org/m1r4y94w5h.fsf <at> gmail.com in browser and it says "No
such article"? The article can be found in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.rope/21.

[Append of zero-length message] error in gmane.discuss with ALPINE


I'm not sure if this issue is more to do with alpine or with gmane. But
I've been accessing gmane with alpine and using filter rules to "move" new
messages to local folders for years. I simply select & enter a subscribed
group, the filters "move" the messages to local folders where sorting by
thread is much faster. It only takes 3 keystrokes per subscribed group plus
3 more to return to my local inbox folder to grab all the new stuff. 

Once I type the navigation commands, I usually switch to a browser and check
my facebook page or something while all the messages download. 

At least that's how it used to work!

Lately when I get to the gmane.discuss folder the filter chokes on some
messages that are still showing up in the index headers but for which any
attempt to "move" or "save" to a local folder results in the:
[Append of zero-length message] error, which in turn brakes my navigation
sequence so that it takes manual intervention to "save" any messages that
appear after the offending messages in gmane.discuss, and then a retyping
of the navigation commands for the remaining groups.

This happened again sometime between 2am and 3am (EST) on Tue Jan 31 2012
I note that When this happens previously excluded messages are listed again
in the index view. where the offending two messages were listed as:

N 14405 Sunday     reference19167 <at> surfe  (5K) Part-Time Job Vacancy
N 14406 Yesterday  ref_id6414855099 <at> pga  (5K) Parttime job offer

Though I'm not sure how accurate the listed message numbers are as there
were only about a half dozen messages listed after them, but my newsrc file

The Gmane MTA died

About eight hours ago, the disk on the MTA died.

I've now set up one of the other Gmane servers (plane.gmane.org) as the
new MTA.  When the DNS changes spread out all over the world, messages
should then be accepted as usual.

Gwene has not been affected by this outage.

Let me know whether there's stuff that doesn't work -- I may have
forgotten to copy over parts of the old MTA setup from backup or
something.

Hopefully, no messages have been lost, but it's difficult to say.

Jabber address masquerading considered harmful

Hello.

As an anti-spam measure, Gmane applies a masquerading filter to email
addresses on some lists. That filter not only applies to the headers but
also to the message body, and it has a nasty effect on Jabber addresses
since they look like email addresses.

Unless the is a plan to masquerade Jabber addresses too, which I doubt,
would it be possible to make that rewriting more specific in order to
exclude Jabber addresses? They can be told appart from email addresses
because they start with the protocol specification xmpp, for instance:
<xmpp:tanguy <at> ortolo.eu>.

NNTP Errors?

I've noticed that over the past two maybe three weeks, there has been 
something going on with the NNTP server. I am using a perl script that 
pulls messages down and drops them into a mbox file locally for me to 
read, and it has been returning the following error:

Server:  news.gmane.org 
List:    gmane.comp.crm.arsystem.general

Error Text:
200 news.gmane.org InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.5.1 ready (posting ok)
GROUP gmane.comp.crm.arsystem.general
480 Read access denied

I've noticed also that if I clear out my group list locally, I cannot 
retrieve a list of the groups that the server has.

This looks like the place to report errors, so if this has been 
found before, I may have missed it and have to apologize.

unable to read gmane with Gnus: requires authorization

For the past couple of days, I have been unable to access gmane with Gnus.  
I am able to open the server in the server buffer, but when I use `g' in 
the *Group* buffer, my gmane groups aren't activated.  If I do `M-g' on a 
valid gmane group, I am asked for an nntp user name.  If I just hit enter, 
Gnus starts downloading a lot of data very slowly (about 1k or 2k per 
second;  now up to 738k, but stalled).

A search showed similar problems if Gnus is trying to access a group that
doesn't exist, so maybe that is what is going on here, although I would 
have thought that `M-g' would only try to access the one group so I suspect 
that is not the explanation.  I haven't changed my group subscriptions 
recently, but maybe a group got removed from gmane, or something got 
corrupted in my .newsrc.eld.  Unfortunately, I don't know any way to 
figure out what is causing the problem.  Any ideas?

I'm currently accessing from 99.249.62.111 in case that helps debug this.

Thanks,

Dan

unable to post to google group

Hello, 

I have tried to post to the gmane.comp.python.tryton google group for
the past days, but no matter what I do, I can't.

Note that google groups is new for me, so it might well be a
misconfiguration on my part :-)

The email address that I use is not the primary one as far as google is
concerned, but I added it in my google account and subscribed to the
group with it.

Even with that, I receive an error message by mail stating that I'm
probably not subscribed:

Hello gcpt-tryton <at> m.gmane.org,

We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (tryton) may not exist, or you may not have
permission to post messages to the group. A few more details on why you weren't able to post:

 * You might have spelled or formatted the group name incorrectly.
 * The owner of the group may have removed this group.
 * You may need to join the group before receiving permission to post.
 * This group may not be open to posting.

The group does exist and is active.

Any idea ? Are google group read only through gmane ?

Thanks,
