Once again, there is no Usenet involved. Gmane.io is an NNTP server, and NNTP is _also_ used by Usenet servers, but Gmane isn't part of Usenet and doesn't implement any of the Usenet peering "news" protocols. > but looking at the Mailman server for Python list I see it is still > fully configured to talk with News.FU-Berlin.DE, newsgroup > comp.lang.python. This has nothing to do with Usenet servers or their connections to python-list. >From the list's POV, gmane.io is a "normal" email subscriber who just happens to archive all the articles it receives. I should never have mentioned that gmane.io does NNTP -- it just seems to have confused everybody. When a gmane.io user submits a post, the post arrives at python-list by normal email channels having been sent via SMTP by the gmane.io server "From:" the user (who, IIRC, has to be subscribed to the list). -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
