Excuse the test, but this cannot be carried out on a test NG.


Ian-

I saw 3 or 4 of your posts on AIOE, but only one showed up here on
Mixmin. I think this was the first one, dated Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:54 AM.
(I assume the time is where I am, Eastern Daylight Time in the US.)

Ummm...
I could see all of my posts via AIOE to rec.radio.amateur.antenna, so
obviously AIOE aren't doing a blanket block on all posts to this NG
(like they did some time ago, to uk.radio.amateur).

It has been suggested in aioe.news.helpdesk that it is
rec.radio.amateur.policy where most of the abuse happens. I've had a
quick dip into it and yes - there do seem to be the usual collection of
cross-posting of ne'er-do-wells. Maybe AIOE are selectively blocking
only certain news servers or posts from certain ISPs.

As a further check, I'll temporarily switch to AIOE to send this.
