We're not talking about the usenet<-->list gateway. Gmane.io is a server that subscribes to and archives many thousands of email lists. It provides NNTP access to that archive. It submits postings made by NNTP clients via e-mail. It stopped allowing posting a few days ago for python-list. At least one other gmane user has also reported being no longer able to post to python-list. Posting to other lists via gmane still works fine. My first _guess_ would be that Mailman started refusing emailed posts from the gmane server to python-list, and that triggered the gmane server to stop accepting posts for python-list. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
