Posting to usenet via gnus

[SabreWolfy]

I run Emacs 23.3.1 with Gnus 5.13 under various Debian-based distributions,
which I have configured to read news from Gmane. However, I post via the
Gmane website. What is the best way to post directly from within Emacs? I've
searched for a solution, but have not found one yet. Do I need to subscribe
to each group and suppress mail delivery (I'm accessing via Gmane). Any
guidance would be appreciated.

Try "Eternal September" (free) outbound

Make sure you have a good "authinfo" file

You'll probably gave to download the groups list ande subscribe
to what you want (NO BINARIES - Who wants 'em anyway)

Works for me but I'm configured a little differently than you.

[EX .gnus]

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.eternal-september.org"))

I'm slightly confused as to the problem. If you want to post to mailing
lists using Gmane, just hit "a" to make a new post to a given list, or
"F" to make a followup. The post will be sent following TMDA
verification (see below).

You must use a valid email address in the "From" field, because Gmane
will use this to send a confirmation email the first time you post to a
given mailing list to make sure you are a human.

This has nothing to do with subscribing to these mailing lists. You do
not have to do this; in essence, Gmane has already "subscribed" on
behalf of all of its users--that's how it gets the mailing list messages.

When you have read an email in a Gmane group you would like to answer,
use F to post a follow up.

This works by Gmane receiving your article via nntp, and - the first
time you post to a group - sending you an email, that you have to reply
to before the article is forwarded to the mailing list, by Gmane, via
email.

For you to receive the email from Gmane (the "challenge") you need to
use a valid email-address in Gnus.

Also, for this to work, either the mailing list has to accept emails
from anyone, or, if it is a subscribers-only mailing list, you may have
to subscribe to it first.

You can read more about it here: http://gmane.org/post.php

That depends on how the mailing list owner has set up the mailing list.

Oh, and notice that Gmane is distinct from usenet. The same protocol is
used (nntp), but Gmane is not usenet and vice versa :-)

Adam
