    You might want to check the thread "misc.legal.moderated" starting
    with Message-ID <vejp2e$1a9c9$2@dont-email.me> in news.admin.moderation
    for an explanation and the current status of this issue.

    Repost from Misc.legal.moderated. Previous posts in the thread
    indicated that there was some issue with how eternal september was
    handling posts to moderated groups. Something about resetting the
    relays. TO has a sort of moderation. Is eternal september having
    issues intearcting with the TO server?

    Short answer: NO.

    Long answer: Neither Eternal-September nor any other newsserver directly interacts with the TO moderators' software or any other moderation
    software. Newsservers forward submissions to moderated newsgroups to the moderation relays by mail which in turn relay these submissions to the moderators' mailboxes as registered with the ISC's moderators' lists. Newsservers can not even choose which moderation relay is used.

    The malfunction you noticed affected one of the three moderation relay
    servers, so some submissions were delivered without any problem, others experienced long delays and others were dumped by the moderation relay,

    For a detailed description of the submission process for moderated
    groups, please refer to

    Thank you for the clarification. So it looks like one of the relay
    systems was messing up, and that accounts for the delayed posting, and
    posts that have never shown up were dropped out by the relay system.

    Is that relay system fixed?

    Do you actually read the articles you repost?
