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,

groups, please refer to
