It appears that Google Groups stopped receiving newly posted newsgroup
messages on 1 August 2011. This affects both "public" news servers and
those proprietary servers (e.g., news.mozilla.org) that interface with
Google Groups. Whether this is a temporary outage or an intentional
change by Google is yet unknown.

Also, messages posted directly at Google Groups to a test newsgroup are
apparently not being sent to news servers. I'm having trouble
confirming this because a test message sent to a test newsgroup from
Google Groups itself also fails to appear in Google Groups.

After some delay, I was able to find the test message on a news server.
However, the message could not be found within Google Groups even
though it was posted from within Google Groups.
