Allen,

(I've CC'd the IBObject and IB-Support list since I think it's a
question to which everybody should understand the implications).

> Sorry for the direct e-mail but it seemed like the best way.

No problem, although I do prefer that the lists be used whever possible.
In the case of the IBObjects list, I'm not a regular reader, so sending
me a direct message is fair game.

>Are messages posted to egroups.ibobjects on the news.atkin.com server

posted to the main message list or do they get discarded??

All messages posted to the mirror are forwarded on to the respective
list @ YahooGroups.

The problem is that for a posting to be accepted by YahooGroups, the
originator MUST be a member of the mailing list. If not, the message
goes into the bit bucket.

I hope that this explaination is complete for you.

P.S. I want to point out that I'm just the host for the news server (I
provide the PC and the 4mb/s net connection). All of this would not be
possible without the generous assistance of Mark O'Donohue of the
Firebird project, who setup all this and is the sysadmin.

Sean,

Sorry for the direct e-mail but it seemed like the best way.

Are messages posted to egroups.ibobjects on the news.atkin.com
server
posted to the main message list or do they get discarded??

Getting the messages via the news group is so much better than
over the web
or the e-mail dumps. It would just be nice to be able to post
back via the
news server as well.

Thanks,

Allen.
