I have a post to a group on GMANE.ORG in my queue that will not post.

The relevant log messages are:

I have posted successfully to GMANE in the past. But it was on my old
machine. I have copied the Pronews files and environment settings from
the old machine to the new one so I think the old and new
installations should work equally well. (But I could be wrong, of
course.)

I am (obviously) able to post to other news servers.

I am also receiving new messages from GMANE so it seems that some are
able to post there.

Can anyone help me figure out what to do to diagnose and fix this
problem?

Me too, and I have just sucessfully sent a test post to
gmane.org.netlabs.samba.user

I can't find any problems in the log you posted, but that does not
mean much...

Do you have the log level at maximum?

Cheers,
L.W.

This looks like a server problem to me. We waited for 3 minutes for a response
to us and never got it. You could try using iptrace and see if there's anything
interesting coming over the wire but in the absence of anything else, this looks
like their problem. Sorry.

I see timeouts from GMANE quite often but it usually works the next
time.
