This is testing? Set 415

Now I imitated Rob's form and sent it to all three groups. It came through Eternal September's server. I wonder why his don't!

So, you are seeing the same problem as me? I saw your 'Original'.

Thanks for doing the tests, I guess the best way to find out is for someone to ask ES, they have a feedback form on their web site. If you do contact them please let us know when they reply.

Now you need to repeat your test every week for the next 414 weeks, and see how long before they don't show up.

I suspect they are filtering your posts on purpose, somebody probably complained (probably more than one person), Ray has been known to filter out a specific individual or type of post. It obviously isn't you, otherwise your followups wouldn't appear.

I find it far more likely that it triggered automatically because the content of the post is the same each time.

Asking ES for feedback is the best option, I guess.

Ok i asked got this

Thus spake Robin Halligan

Interesting. The last update of Cleanfeed was applied in June and after that time these posts were rejected as spam. There is indeed a spammy pattern in these posts (and newsguy postings in general get a negative initial score, just like Google), but they should not be rejected. Will look into this and hopefully get it fixed before the next posting.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks! Glad to see that they have good customer service there.
