Then he shouldn't complain here but blame his provider.
Anyway, AFAIK googlegroups.com is no such gateway and he has been
posting at alt.computer.security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx So most likely a lack
of understanding what he's doing.

Anyway, alt.test would be a much better place for testing.

He found the standard Google Groups web-interface? Obviously!
I am not posting here to test or to complaint that I can't post, I
wanted advice about why this is happening.
E-mails to news is not only used by those who want to hide their
identity but also by those that for some reason (i.e:internet filter)
can't post via web interface or simply because they prefer to post via
email.
Now lets see if anybody here can tell me why in some googlegroups it is
possible to post via email and not in this one, because what causes the
confusion is that whilst I can post via email to other places I can't
do so here, and I dont use amy remailer or special technique.
You cannot use e-mail protocols, like SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol), to connect to NNTP (network news transfer protocol) servers used to manage Usenet posts. You will need to use a newsreader that supports NNTP. If you want to use webnews-for-dummies interfaces, like Google Groups, you'll have to figure out how to script your client to interface with their webnews interface or find a different client with that support already built in (I don't know of local clients that are screen-mapped to the Google Groups webnews interface but then I don't waste my time with webnews interfaces).
If you are attempting to hide behind an converter gateway service where you send using e-mail (via SMTP) to newsgroups (via NNTP) then you need to find a mail-to-news service. If that is what you are having difficulties with, you have successfully hidden WHICH such mail-to-news gateway service you are attempting to use.
Google Groups cannot be posted to by using e-mail. You use their webnews-for-dummies interface (which is also not NNTP so you can't use a newsreader, either, with Google Groups). Get a real NNTP server if you want to use an NNTP client, like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, or Forte Agent. If you want to hide behind a mail-to-news gateway, well, you'll have to talk to whomever operates that UNNAMED service.
