The last time I can find that a post like the following worked was around the 
20th of October. I did a search using google.groups. Don't remember making 
any changes to leafnode or slrn after that time. 

The following are the headers in the user my_posts file of a message that 
appears to have left my system correctly. The message did not return as a 
posted message nor can I find it using google.groups.

In my outgoing newslog I see:

O

It looks like it was process correctly on my system should have been 
appropriately posted on newscene.

281 Ok
group alt.agnosticism
211 429 137111 137539 alt.agnosticism
HEAD lk6q42-vb5.ln1 at news.invalid.99computer
430 No such article

I also tried it without the group command.

As an aside, looking at my logs I notice I started having leafnode timeouts 
(900s) on a pretty regular basis on Sept 11. Probably not related although I 
would think that 15 minutes would be sufficient time for just about anything.

Sep 11 09:20:06 www leafnode[27815]: < (ERROR: timeout - no response in 900 s)
Sep 11 09:24:18 www leafnode[27902]: connect from localhost.localdomain 
(127.0.0.1) to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) (my fqdn: 
news.invalid.99computer)
Sep 11 09:25:00 www fetchnews[27908]: leafnode 1.10.4.rel: verbosity level is 
0, debugmode is 0

What is frustrating is that other posts are working correctly. I am going to 
try a reply where I just tell the system to post to all groups rather than 
setting the follow-up to header. Maybe newscene has a problem with those?
