Gateway

Folks,

I’m sorry I have to bring up this issue again. But there are definitely
postings that don’t get through from the list to the NG. I start getting
slightly annoyed by this, because it makes following threads hard that are
fed from both sides… :frowning:

Please, can anybody take care of this?

Kind regards

Well, this is the gateway which has problem or it's just a bad propagation
on USENET ?

Surely it’s time the gateway code was put on RubyForge, enhanced with
proper logging (assuming it’s not already) and the logs made available for
public consumption?

Gavin

Gavin, excelent idea… I vote yes on this too.

For instance, postings from David Black doesn’t show up on the
newsgroup (at least where I am)… which is a shame.
I don’t know how many other persons I which is invisible in that way.
Sometimes I find important replies on ruby-talk, months after the
discussion took place. It would be really nice to get the gateway
fixed.

IMHO the gateway is the much more likely cause since I don’t observe this
phenomenon in other technical newsgroups which I assume have a similar
distribution of posters. No 100% proof of course…

Just wanted to let know I also access the newsgroup and that I would
greatly appreciate if the gateway was fixed. I won’t be able to help on
the coding though :frowning:

You can't solve a bad USENET propagation, with the gateway.

Hmm. I think its time for me to switch away from Usenet, and
use the ruby-talk mailinglist instead.

For usenet I use ‘pan’… Can anyone recommend a good
mail client, which can show threads?
some kind of lightweight GUI mailclient for unix ?
Thanks in advance

True. If it’s the usenet propagation.

What I’ve been doing is reading ruby-talk (so that I see everything)
and switching to Usenet to reply (so that everyone will see what I
write). Not very convenient.

Now, on my news servers I have the same article than in my mailbox.

Here are a few of the ones that never made it to Google Groups or to
my Usenet provider. If your news server received any of these, please
forward to me with all the headers:

91281
91536
92714
92846
92847

Thanks.

The gateway code does not appear to reject my messages (based on some
local tests), so whatever’s happening is further along the chain. I
think Dennis was going to talk to the news admins and see what might
be happening (not sure if he has yet).

That’s very interesting, Guy.

Can you find any from the list below on your news server ?

Random searches on Google from this list show gaps and I’m sure
Ggl will take feeds down more than one route.

I can also confirm this on my news server. Thread starts with a message

Sylpheed – lightweight, GTK-based. Decently easy to use.

Mutt is my personal favorite – not GUI-based, but has some very nice
features for dealing with the four-digit number of emails I get in a
day.

Evolution has good threading, but lightweight isn’t in its vocabulary.

Well, I suppose it’s possible that the geographic location of the
gateway is an issue (actually the choice of providers).

Of course, that is largely not negotiable unless someone volunteers to
take charge of the software in Dennis’s place.

Will try Sylpheed.

I currently use Evolution, but its too resource consuming, takes
forever to startup/teardown. When I click on compose it takes several
seconds before the window appear on my display.

Besides that, what does people use of GUI clients for ruby-talk?

be happening (not sure if he has yet).

Well, I suppose it’s possible that the geographic location of the
gateway is an issue (actually the choice of providers).

I don’t think so, for two reasons: first, because it used to work
(before about January); second, because my messages do go through
if (and only if) I start a new thread. So it seems to be something
less clear cut.
