Oh, it is quite clear. I get the standard form message from devnull

Every post.

I suspect that it is objecting to somethnig (still no guesses as
to what) in the message headers. I'd wondered if it hated my domain
name, but your post quotes that, so it probably isn't the issue.

I know enough about Usenet to work around this, but I dislike doing
so. So I usually just don't post. I don't like that solution, as
I plan on putting a pond in this spring and may have design questions
over the winter.

I don't know what the problem is, but if it is the software we'll
probably need some more info if we are going to help the author
correct it. On a personal note, I wish the software had the ability
to tell exactly why a post is automatically rejected. I know that is
technically possible, but is a fair amount of coding work. It would
indeed be nice if there were a bunch of competing software packages
and hosting possibilities to choose from, but that is not the case.
