linux.debian.user is moderated; news.software.readers is not. If you
posted (via NNTP) from slrn to a moderated group there will be a delay
while the moderation process takes place before you see your article in
that group or get an email from the moderator (if such emails are ever
sent to the originator of delayed, edited, or rejected, articles in that
particular group). The SMTP email settings in your .slrnrc won't effect
that as SMTP is not involved locally.

I don't think slrn can send an email other than as a 'reply' to the poster
of an article. If you do 'reply' to an article in a newsgroup then that
private email will never appear in the newsgroup, it will go only to the
poster of the article concerned.


Thank you. I wasn't thinking clearly. It's not a delay - they disappear.
But it probably is that they're just getting rejected. Perhaps because
of the 'invalid'. Ah well.

I haven't used linux.debian.user for quite a while, but when I did, I
had to register for the corresponding mailing list with a real e-mail
address (then I disabled receiving the mail). Otherwise it silently
dropped messages. Perhaps that is still the case.

If the moderator has no working email address for the originator of an
article, there is no way for any response to get back if the article is
rejected.
