This CFV thang..
The message
from Jaques d'Alltrades contains these words: The message from Janet Baraclough .. contains these words: The message from "David W.E. Roberts" contains these words: Reply-To: " Yeah... well, I've sent a ballot-form request to that address via my newsreader service, (giving my true address), and got no reply. I tried again via email, and it bounced back with a message "the recipient is not acceptable to your SMPT server". You didn't send from the loopback one, did you? Mine got through and we're using the same ISP. Tell me what the loop-back one is :-) The smpt server refusal was to an email posted in Eudora. I wonder whether the recent international trawl for pædos has loused-up the mail and the news? That might explain why my email spam is reduced this week. Janet |

Jaques, mon cher ami... Total misunderstanding. I posted a reply to the NG - in fact the reply should have been cross posted to the three NGs listed in the original post. [..] I was puzzled over the failure of my post to appear. You crossposted to the moderated group uk.net.net.announce if you replied to all three groups. Your post would have been rejected for unna and it then wouldn't appear anywhere due to the way xposting to a moderated group works. -- Pedt Scragg Votetaker, uk.rec.gardening.allotments Speaking as a member of, not on behalf of, UKVoting |

The message from "David W.E. Roberts" contains these words: Does the line "Followup-To: poster" do strange things? My post in reply seems destined for the NGs - but then I am using OE which may do non-standard things :-( It would seem (from my admittedly scant knowledge of the machinations of OE) as if it is directed back to you by e-mail. It should go to the Reply-to: *email* address or, failing an explicitly set one, the From: *email* address of the poster who sent the article. Replies to the CFV should go to as that Reply-To: was set in the CFV. -- Pedt Scragg Votetaker, uk.rec.gardening.allotments Speaking as a member of, not on behalf of, UKVoting |

The votetaker is not prepared to discuss in public any problems specific voters may have. I tried again via email, and it bounced back with a message "the recipient is not acceptable to your SMPT server". has anyone else had a problem? There shouldn't be. Chapter and verse please and I can pass it to the UKV co-ordinator if there is a problem. No it worked o.k. for some of us. Perhaps you are in his kill file? There are no killfiles on vote requests (or to the votetaker's query address/internal addresses for the vote). If anyone has a problem then send an email (*please* do use an email address unmunged and one that will reach you when a reply is sent) to the Votetaker's query address for this vote: as was indicated in the CFV. -- Pedt Scragg Votetaker, uk.rec.gardening.allotments Speaking as a member of, not on behalf of, UKVoting |

Tell me what the loop-back one is :-) Flobalob in your case, foobar in mine. Included in the address after @, it automatically returns to sender. The smpt server refusal was to an email posted in Eudora. Ah. Try ZIMACS I wonder whether the recent international trawl for pædos has loused-up the mail and the news? That might explain why my email spam is reduced this week. Lucky you.....

Hmmm, should have been uk.net.news.announce not uk.net.net.announce Pedt, thanks for that. Another interesting bit of knowledge to file away. Always useful to know ;-) Xpost to moderated,unmoderated[,unmoderated] then your post goes by email to the moderator(s) of the moderated group. If they accept it then your post appears in all groups. If not accepted then it doesn't appear anywhere. Does that mean that if you add a moderated NG to a troll thread that all responses will just diappear? Only if they continue the xpost in reply to your article and your original article was accepted by the moderator so that it can be replied to. You'd very likely have a ****ed off moderator as well so I wouldn't recommend it as a means of combating trolls. -- Pedt |

"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message ... The message from "David W.E. Roberts" contains these words: I have been watching 'uk.net.news.config' for the CFV but it only arrived very recently, along with another 3,000 posts. There is now a long thread in 'uk.rec.gardening' in response, but none shown in 'uk.net.news.config'. I replied to the CFV - which should have cross posted the reply to the 3 NG in the original posting - but this reply seems to have disappeared. No, it won't be posted. The reply should be mailed to you automatically. I hope you used a valid address to reply? You then snip the bits where instructed, fill in the voting slip, and e-mail it back to the vote-taker. So is there some strange thing about replying to CFVs, or is Usenet banjaxed at the moment? No. True, one of the replies to my mail did fall in a hole somewhere, but a replacement was sent as soon as I e-mailed Pedt. You'll find his official address on the CFV. Something is wrong somewhere. I sent an ordinary e-mail to ask for voting papers 2 days ago. The letrter seems to have gone, but I have not heard anything since. And why do I still see nothing about a CFV in either uk.net.news.config, nor in uk.net.news.announce? Franz |
