FAQ posts rejected (fwd)

[The Hermit Hacker]

Is this something in the configuration of INN-cvs that I have to do?  I've
never set anything here that I'm aware of ;(  One of our users can't post,
with an appropriate Approve: header, to a few lists ...


==================
Ken, your news server's administrator has sent you email (cc'ed to us)
which seems to indicate that he's reasonably interested in helping you
figure out what the specific problem is that you are encountering
recently; it would appear that email was sent an hour before you sent
your message to us.  Please provide to him the information which he
has asked for.

The *.answers moderation team has no control over how the plethora of
different Usenet news servers out there are configured.  However, it's
worth noting that in the interests of partially controlling spammers,
some news server administrators may be disabling the ability for an
arbitrary user to post with an "Approved:" header to moderated
newsgroups.  Then on a case-by-case basis, they may be re-enabling the
ability for specific users to post approved articles to specific
newsgroups.  This is a fairly scalable mechanism, since relatively few
posters need to be able to post to a moderated newsgroup (basically,
just newsgroup moderators and *.answers-approved FAQ maintainers), so
handling those exceptions manually isn't an onerous burden on news
server administrators.  That may be what happened here, although I
cannot be certain.

Lastly, while I encourage you to continue the dialog with what appears
to be a helpful local news server administrator, if that dialog
eventually peters out without successfully resolving the problem, the
*.answers moderation team is also responsible for the FAQ auto-poster
service at faq-server at rtfm.mit.edu, and that is something you may want
to consider using if it proves necessary.
