gmane.os.freebsd.test and gmane.test sends: both fail from an independent context

Hello Anton,


I've tried NewsTap on an iPad. It has no SMTP configuration ability but
is supposed to allow posting. (My normal use is intended to be: reading.)

I'm unable to post from it as well, appearing to send but the post
message never showing up. (Message reading is operational.)

NewsTap has a scroll-able log. After POST comes text like (hand typed here):

340 Ok, recommended message-ID <10k5ocq$3gh$1@ciao.gmane.io>
240 Article received (mailed to moderator)

Maybe: Failure to pass the automatic moderation filtering that requires
matching a subscription?


Other notes:

For the groups I've added into NewsTap, after the description text for a
group in this UI there always seems to be the text:

(Moderated) (read, moderated)

Some groups prefix that with:

(non-public)

others with:

(read-only)

Some have neither prefix.


Note: a lot of those lines are longer than the UI presents, so there
could sometimes be more text that I'm not seeing any example of.
