This CFV thang..
 

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.

So is there some strange thing about replying to CFVs, or is Usenet banjaxed
at the moment?

Cheers

Dave R

P.S. I have managed to vote - awaiting confirmation

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.

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.

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.

These were shown in the BG response I posted.

However the posted response has not appeared in uk.rec.gardening nor in
uk.net.news.config.

As I stated in the OP, I have voted. (Just got the confirmation back).

I was puzzled over the failure of my post to appear.

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 :-(

'Follow-ups to poster' means that the follow-up you post will only be
sent to the original poster of the message you are replying to, unless
you override the follow-ups.

It would seem (from my admittedly scant knowledge of the machinations of
OE) as if it is directed back to you by e-mail.

I certainly haven't seen it turn up anywhere, despite a search on your
'From:' address.

No it worked o.k. for some of us. Perhaps you are in his kill file?

Janet.

Perhaps if you create a new email message, and cut and paste into it?

I presume you send via an ISP SMTP server, for onward delivery - is it this
server which is rejecting the email?

You didn't send from the loopback one, did you? Mine got through and
we're using the same ISP.

Both of mine reached base, one ballot paper fell into a hole on the way
back and another made it through.

I wonder whether the recent international trawl for pædos has loused-up
the mail and the news?

Tell me what the loop-back one is :-)

The smpt server refusal was to an email posted in Eudora.

That might explain why my email spam is reduced this week.
