I saw 3 or 4 of your posts on AIOE, but only one showed up here on

Ian-

Actually all 3 of your first posts eventually showed up on Mixmin.
Apparently the Sysop was on vacation for a few days and there were no
new messages until Wednesday. My Monday message didn't go out until
Wednesday either.

I normally use AIOE and switched to Mixmin to see if our messages would
go both ways. I haven't noticed any recent problems at AIOE.

I'm not really the one who is having the trouble. I can still post OK to
rec.radio.amateur.antenna using either my normal Demon news server, or
AIOE. It's some others who are finding that AIOE doesn't work, and they
are getting error messages.

With AIOE, the unwary can innocently fall foul of one of their several
'slap your wrist' rules. It's very easy to get blocked for 24 hours if
you send two identical posts - as you might do if, for some reason, the
first post fails to appear, and you send another.

The only indication from AIOE themselves as to whether they are
employing some other sort of blocking to rec.radio.amateur.antenna is
the following cryptic message on the aioe.news.helpdesk newsgroup:

"closed due some sort of large past abuse
articles are rejected by cleanfeed so error code is duplicated"

(which I don't really understand). They don't seem to be very
forthcoming with any further explanation. But, as I said, this problem
isn't affecting me personally.
