Re: I can't post to this group

I forgot this, an example of what it is included in the emails google
send to the subscribers:

To post to this group, send email to
lucky.openbsd.misc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or
visit http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.openbsd.misc

This refers to another group but it is exactly the same for this one
(have deleted all emails), so am I really a fool for following what the
googlegroups mailing lists say?



You will STILL end up using the webnews-for-dummies interface for the Google Groups group. This group is NOT carried worldwide on other NNTP servers. It is a "private" group defined only within the realm of Google, just as are Yahoo Groups. The e-mail address means you attempted to subscribe to a private Google Groups group that the owner of that group requires registration. When you open a Google Groups group, you are the owner of that group and can regulate its use (i.e., it is a moderated private group). The owner wants you to send an e-mail to him/her before they will authorize your Google Groups username to have access to the group (or maybe to just post to it). The author apparently also provides a page where you can complete or start the registration (i.e., "Subscribe to This Group" link).

You are NOT using e-mail in any way to access the groups (public or private) when using Google Groups. In what you've described, e-mail is used to register for *access* to the group (i.e., you need to ask someone for permission), and that is not the same as trying to use e-mail to access the group.
