Default posting problems in OE 6!
Are you using any signature in news? There are certain words/phrases
that will trigger the spam filters. If your signature contains any of
these, that would cause your posts to go missing.

Microsoft does not publish what the spam filters check for as that would
be an aid to spammers.

Yes that is what has been perplexing me as well for months!!! Message
gets
send according to Norton or MSOE but never appears in the newsgroup!
I am
suspecting Norton AV 2005 is blocking the messages but since my
computer
skills are somewhat limited I have not been able to verify this as of
yet. I
am going to disable email scanning since it is an added, useless and
corrupting agent and then go from there. I doubt the microsoft news
server
is filtering out my messages since they are being sent as plain text
but of
course this is not out of the question either!

No offense, but Microsoft and Norton need to get on the same page to
avoid
all these errors and complications which are quite frustrating to the
average
consumer! I mean seriously who needs all this extra aggrivation?!
For
months I can't even add new firewall rules since I installed IE7 and
an
exhaustive internet search on NAV 2005 firewall script errors proves
that an
awful lot of people still have this problem! Norton technical support
is
almost useless because with the slightest problem they insist on
either
reinstalling Norton or upgrading to their 2007 line...and I have
already done
this twice within the last year with no positive effect!

It's possible that some software between you and news server blocked
the
post, but imitated the news server saying that the post was
successful.
For example, Norton anti-virus when scanning outgoing e-mail tells OE
that the message was accepted by the SMTP mail server before Norton
has
connected to the mail server. I don't know if Norton works that way
with news posts.

The other possibility is that your post was initially accepted but
the
news server later filtered it out as spam. The Microsoft news server
does do spam filtering. To minimize this a possibility, make sure
that
news is set to plain text post (Tools, Options, Send) rather than
HTML,
and turn off any signature for your news accounts (Tools, Options,
Signatures).

Also, before running a new log, either delete or rename the old one
so
that it starts with a clean log. Part of you log goes back almost a
month.

Ok. As far as including all the previous messages in each post I
think I
have done this perhaps with a few exceptions. Anyway, here is my
abbreviated
