For some reason bit.listserv.govdoc-l can no longer get posting made
directly to the list, however the list get postings to the newsgroup.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Here is post that
describes the problem:

Lori:

Hello!  This is just a quick note to let you know that I received your
message.

I have been aware of the problems with the Usenet feed receiving GOVDOC-L.
I've done some investigation and I know what is probably causing it--it seems
that the header information on many email messages is not compatible with
the Usenet software, and the feed rejects those messages that aren't
compliant.  This doesn't surprise me too much--since we all know how unified
and cross-compliant the Internet is!  I -assume- that other bit. listserv.*
groups have pretty much the same problem.

What I don't know is what to do about it.  So far, no one has offered any
great ideas, and I haven't come up with any.  On the other hand, I'm suprised
no one noticed it till now--which makes me think something somewhere has
changed recently to cause the problem.  That gives me hope that there is
a solution . . . somewhere.

My only suggestion at this time is that people should subscribe to the direct
mail list, using the directions you have provided.  I realize that this
isn't possible/practical for some people--that's why they follow the usenet
feed in the first place.  But unfortunately, this is the best I can do right
now.

Thanks for sending the information about subscribing to the Usenet folks.
If you think this note will be of any help, feel free to forward it to them.
Maybe someone there, being more conversant with Usenet, will have a suggestion.
If so, they could email me directly
