Eternal September is my news host.
I have no difficulty sending a message to begin a thread.
An initial attempt at replying to a thread is often not accepted by the server. A filter on the server finds something in my reply violates terms of use?
I'm happy to remove or obfuscate email addresses and links. Even so, a reply can be denied.
Is there a deterministic way to make a reply acceptable?
Thanks ... Peter E.
The server will certainly have spit back more details than you are describing, about what is wrong.
The NNTP protocol has many status response codes.
Did it not ever occur to you that since this is "a filter on the server" that you might find you get a better answer asking in "eternal-september.support" where such questions would be on topic instead of here in sci.electronics.repair where your post is wildly off topic?
No. Didn't not ever but I'm not a genius who's time is continually wasted by dim-wits.
For those interested, message 18449 in eternal-september.support addresses the snag.
Regards, ... P.
