Hi group,
please help me, I am a newbie.

How the hack do I send a post with nym account?

If I try anon-post-to it reports an error (ok, I understand why)
If I use m2n gateway, post doesnt show up (so I dont know it this is the right way)

Nym account is up and running, I replied to activate reply blocks....and that is it, a I am afraid.

Would please someone be so kind as to give me a few short steps how to post with nym account. Please.

Thank you very mouch.

o.

This should work; you send to the mail2news gateway with the
Newsgroups and Subject headers set. (Don't put a From header.)

Have you successfully send mail from your nym account to your nym
account?

We would need to know what software you are using, e.g JBN2, to give
you step by step instructions.

That is why: To be succesful
Nym does not accepr competition / your mail/post would be quietly discarded

Unless you added a "From: " in the extra headers, it should have worked
Choose a better chain of remailers, probably
quite a few died lately
Did you refresh your stats/keyrings and remove the dead corpses?
>>> you HAVE to remove the dead corpses yourself

YES
It is called the "Extra headers" area in JBN's termilology
And you put whateber you want
-except for that From; conficting with NYM
-except for funny headers which sometimes trigger filter (Control:)
Mine are:
Organization: Happy Lobster & Partners
X-Comment: In Case of Emergency, Flush the Toilet
X-Mailer: JackB.Nymble Version 2.1
From: Frog-Admin
References and Newsgroups come along / I leave out X-No-Archive

I only use PGP6 for Reliable (I was asked to)
For my personal use and JBN, I have PGP 2.63ia
I have been using the same PGP-Front for ages:
PGPClick, available from the downloads area on my my site

First suggestion (please don't complain if unneeded, you might not be the
only newbie reading this). The APA-S FAQ. A copy is posted here every Wed.
and the web version can be found at
http://members.geosoft.org/apasfaq/index.html

Print it, get a cup of coffee, and relax away from your computer to read
it. Otherwise that flashing cursor will just keep distracting you and
tempting you before you understand what the hell is going on.

The simplest thing you need to understand about using a nym is that you
never actually send a message from the nym account.

You send a message with handling instructions to the "send" account at the
nym server.

That message must be encrypted to the send account's public key and signed
with the private key for your nym account.

If you think of the nym account as your own private remailer 'out there' in
cyberspace you might find what is going on makes more sense.

Since you manage to send via remailers you've already got past the first
couple of hurdles.

Now, to get a proper answer to your question you'll need to fill out a
System Problem Report.

Please detail all Client Software, Nym A/C, ISP, Personal Contact Details,
etc, etc. ;^)
