Can't send to mingw.users


Hi there,

I tried to send a message to gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.users (mingw-
users <at> lists.sourceforge.net) and I did not get the 'confirm you exists' 
email from gmane, and the message was not delivered.

Just letting you know of another list affected by this issue.

Thanks,

Steve.

Is it fixable?

Disabling email address encryption for gmane.os.freebsd.chromium

Hi there,

It'd be nice to disable email address encryption for the
gmane.os.freebsd.chromium newsgroup. Most of the FreeBSD.org lists in Gmane do
not have address encryption on anyway, and it's somewhat annoying.

I've talked to the list moderators, and they seem to be OK with that. Please
let me know if you need some explicit/public acknowledgment from them.

gmane.linux.kernel.speakup: change of mailing list address


The address of the mailing list server for the gmane.linux.kernel.speakup
newsgroup has changed. The mailing list is now speakup <at> linux-speakup.org.

When I tried to post today, my message bounced. The error from the gmane.org
MTA showed that it was sending to the old list address,
speakup <at> braille.uwo.ca, which (at least as of this morning) was no longer
accepting mail.

What's the next step? Do I contact the gmane.org administrators? Ask the
mailing list administrator to contact them?

search.gmane.org down...?

Right now my browser says:
 Connection closed by remote server

 You tried to access the address
http://search.gmane.org/?query=ssl+cacert&group=gmane.mail.imap.dovecot, which is currently
unavailable. Please make sure that the web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try
reloading the page.

I get the same error when trying to visit http://search.gmane.org/

Duplicate text/plain attachment in the web interfaces

I posted an article to gmane.test to see how text/plain attachments were
represented in the web interfaces.

The article has two attachments, but the second attachment is rendered
twice:
  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.test/6792
  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.test/6792

When I look at the article in Gnus
 nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.test/6792
I see 4 text/plain parts:
 - The initial text
 - The first attachment
 - The second attachment
 - An empty text/plain part
(ie. like I posted it... except for the unintended text/plain part at
the end...)

the ger.gmane.org and news.gwene.org certs are misnamed

Since gnutls insists on running when talking to gmane, and since I have
problems getting this to work, I have increased the log level, and there
I've seen the stuff below.

Summary: ger.gmane.org and news.gwene.org are probably using the
news.gmane.org cert, and since the actual FQDN of the server is encoded
into the cert, there is a mismatch.

Is rain (snews.gmane.org) down?

My newsreader is pointed at snews.gmane.org, and as of today I'm getting
errors connecting. When I go to ping (after clearing all DNS caches) I get
the following:

Weird spam malreports. TOR...?

I am seeing some strance malreports to various Tiki groups.  Often
multiple reports to the same article (which has been invarably a
malreport), often the exact same user agent with different IP addresses.

The only thing I can think about is that the reporters are using TOR.
However, their motivation baffles me.  Both the target of the malreports
and multiple malreports to the same article from different IPs,
are... weird... 

Here are some examples:

fltk newsgroup(s) -- /our/ server is down

Hi Gmane admins,

Our admin of the server at fltk.org (server for fltk.general et al)
informs me our server will be down for a while, and tells me we may not
have backups of our own mailing list archive of the fltk.* newsgroups.

I'm investigating if we can possibly reconstruct our article database
from a mailing list archive on the web; and I thought of gmane, as I've
always liked your threaded web interface to our mailing list.

Was wondering if it would be OK to use your archive of our list to help
reconstruct our newsgroup database?

I looked into pulling the data via NNTP, but I think the headers are
a bit reconstructed with gmane-specific info.. was wondering if
the original NNTP headers are available?
