   This group is not moderated.   
      
   Sometimes servers drop certain posts due to their own policies, common ones   
   being spam filtering or   
   posting limits (too many posts, too much bandwith etc.).  If so your server   
   ought to have given some   
   different message.  Perhaps your server provides a mechanism to interogate its   
   log to find out why a   
   post was dropped.   
      
   Sometimes servers just "throw a wobbly", to use the techie term...  Giganews   
   had a recurring issue   
   where it would accept a post, but not "link" it to the required newsgroup.    
   Such posts were   
   retrievable if queried by Message-Id (which is not specific to any group), but   
   not when enumerating   
   by article number (which is group specific).  Sometimes the article appeared   
   in the group several   
   hours later, sometimes not!
