	Hmm.  You might want to try hooking your mailing list up to a 
different newsgroup, and trying again.  I've had good success in 
testing with misc.test.  The nice thing about this is that you'll get 
e-mail feedback from a variety of auto-responders as they see the 
article come across the wire, so you'll get confirmation that your 
post is getting out.

	You might also want to hook up a network sniffer device (or a 
program like tcpdump or snoop) on the host to watch all incoming and 
outgoing NNTP traffic between your Mailing list server and the USENET 
news server.  This way you can see the entire dialog between the 
server and client, in addition to whatever they put in the logs.
