We Do! I would say your post is successful. 😊
My problem was...
When you post to the list, the Debian mailing-list server does a connect-back to the authoritative mail server for your domain name, in my case that's 'jaruzel.com' for @jaruzel.com. It then tries to validate the sender's address by doing this over SMTP:
EHLO
MAIL FROM: <>
RCPT TO: <***@jaruzel.com>
My mail server is a home-grown system (for various long winded reasons), but when I built it, I must have missed the bit in the RFC where '<>' is a valid 'MAIL FROM:' address. My mail server barfed, and Debian mailing-list server decided I was a fake address and killed my post. I patched my mail server code to accept '<>' and now it all works wonderfully! A unique case, but very very annoying.

Hm....
Let's see if I can. I haven't made a post since the move.
We'll know soon enough, right?

I wish! I'm doing this via NNTP. It's exactly the same issue I had
when the list was on it's old home. :( I get emails of posts, but
I can't
post
Post by David WoodfallDo you get any error when you try to post via email?
What email client are you using?
Also, a bit offtopic, but what is the nntp address?
No error, the email just off into the ether, never to be seen again,
and I don't get a post confirmation. I'm using Outlook 2013 into MS
Exchange, my sending email domain is Jaruzel.com, and I send via
smarthost at my ISP.
The NNTP server is 'news.gmane.org' and the group name is
'gmane.network.gopher.general'.

All I can think of is that the domain may be flagged in a spam
blacklist or something. I guess the list admin will have the answer to
that.
