Since it is posting to the News server, the News server information must be
correct.

  - What version of Mailman are you using?
  - Look in the log files ~mailman/logs/..  and tell us if you see any 
errors
or warnings

Hello,

I am having difficulty keeping my news server and lists in sync.  When a
message is posted the the list, mailman updates the newsgroup just fine.
  However, if a post is made to the newsgroup, the list is not updated.
  There is an option in the admin pages of mailman that says this should
happen for me:
"Should new posts to the newsgroup be sent to the mailing list?"

What am I doing wrong here?   Thank you all for any help!

Thank you for your reply!  I am using version 2.0.7.  The "error" log 
shows nothing.  The usenet log shows this every 5 minutes:
Jan 14 14:50:01 2002 (2264) test: [1..3]
Jan 14 14:50:01 2002 (2264) nothing new for list test
Jan 14 14:50:01 2002 (2264) test watermark: 7
Jan 14 14:50:01 2002 (2264) customers-ups: [1..3]
Jan 14 14:50:01 2002 (2264) nothing new for list customers-ups
Jan 14 14:50:01 2002 (2264) customers-ups watermark: 3

However, there are new posts in the "test" newsgroup that did not get 
put on the test list.  I have the information in mailman setup 
correctly, just verified.

It may be working intermittently because the customers.ups group had a 
few posts that made it to the customers-ups list.  I am not certain as 
to why that one worked however.  It also seems as if it took a while for 
them to appear on the list as well.

I hope this helps.

Thank you!
