I own the list medforum@arizvm1.ccit.arizona.edu which is gated to
bit.listserv.medforum.  This is a moderated list, with listserv itself
as the moderator and Send=Private, to make sure that only subscribers 
can post messages.  
I have a user who has tried to post from the email side, and his posts
did not show up on usenet.  My first thought was that it was a return
address problem, and that listserv was rejecting his posts because it
did not know who he was.  But then he told me that he was in fact getting
"your message has been distributed" confirmation messages from listserv.
Hmm....so the messages were apparently being mailed out to the email
side (although I cannot verify this since I keep my own subscription
set nomail), yet they weren't making it to usenet.  Okay, so I reviewed 
the list and netnews@auvm is still subscribed...no funny business there.
So I posted my own test message from the email side and it passed thru
the gateway and showed up on usenet just fine.  I'm out of ideas...where
else could the problem be?  Is there anything I should ask him to try
to help figure out what the problem is?  Thanks.
