I recently posted a note about creating a gateway between Usenet and the 
LISTSERVE I run, SCREEN-L.

I have a question about making SCREEN-L a uni-directional newsgroup.  If 
bit.listserv.screen-l were created as a "read-only" newsgroup, where SCREEN-L 
messages were posted on it, but not vice versa, what happens when someone 
posts a message on bit.listserv.screen-l?

Is the poster told that posting are not permitted in that newsgroup?  Or, is 
his post put on bit.listserv.screen-l even though it is *not* sent to SCREEN-L 
proper?

Thanks for any clarification!
