My experience was a bit different: - sending mail directly to the list required a confirmation message although I was subscribed with that address - although the message told me that my original mail will get through, it never appeared on the list - posting via gmane works fine even with addresses that are not subscribed to the list after confirming the first message to gmane. This is consistent with Robs experience if his message did not appear on the list at all and was not only missing on gmane. So I believe that there is a problem with the lyx list and not with gmane. >> So, it's only the very first one that won't be on gmane. >> I suppose the reconfirmation exchange to have me on the whitelist, >> "forgets" the "on-hold" email to also forward to gmane, or something like >> that. >> >> This is really a problem for peole (like me), who do a single test email >> first, >> realize it is not working (the test email doesn't appear on gmane) and >> then give up on it.
