I've been posting successfully to ms.public.access, but my posts here
are not getting though.

This is a test post after unsubscribing / resubscribing to see if it
gets through.

Hi,
Sometimes you might experience dificulties but it works

Thanks for responding. It's curions that this message went through, but
my question isn't.

I'm not used to having trouble posting via NNTP using Outlook Express.

I have uncovered two instances wherein the MSnews server seems to remove
articles that contain certain text (anywhere in the ASCII form of the
message, not just the body).

Removal is usually almost instantaneous; but sometimes an article persists
for several minutes. This is why we sometimes see "deleted from server"
messages in OE.

As I recall, one instance is if the message contains the substring "X Y Z"
without the interstitial spaces. Of course "X Y Z" is a common example
name.

Another instance is if the message contains the substring "o n o" without
the interstitial spaces. Tony Valko (Biff) encountered this when he used
the word astro n omical".

It is better to use microsoft.public.test.here for test posts. Yes, some
problems could be newsgroup-specific. But that is very rare, if ever.

(Some NG have different expiration criteria.)

Very helpful information ... I was suspecitng deletion based on contents
.... but so far have not ciphered out what the offending text might be.

As I have attempted sending as a new post, as pasting into a reply to
this thread, and actually re-typing the entire message on the
possibility that some offensive non-printable sequence had become
embedded and all have failed, I will follow your other suggestion and
see what happens in the test group.

I did post here instead of the test group on purpose, knowing that,
strictly speaking, I was out of protocol.

Thanks for your kind reply.

If you are saying you are still unable to post your intended message, and it
does not contain any of the known "offensive" text (hogwash!), feel free to
send the intended posting to me, and I will isolate the "offensive" content
or other root cause of the problem. I monitor the TCP/NNTP protocol, so I
know exactly what is going on.

Ideally, use Forward As Attachment (right click) to attach the failed
posting from your Sent Items folder. Send it to joeu2004 "at" hotmail.com.
