Hi Everyone,
I am running on mailman-2.0.6-1.
I want to set up the Mail-News and News-Mail gateway for my list.
I used my admin GUI and specify the following:
  	The internet address of the machine your News server is running on :
news.boeing.com
	The name of the Usenet group to gateway to and/or from : boeing.test
	Should new posts to the mailing list to be sent to the newsgroup :
selected "Yes" 
	Should new posts to the newsgroup be sent to the mailing list?
selected "Yes"
	Should Mailman perform a catchup on the newsgroup? selected "No".
This is what I got:
When I sent an email to my mailing list, I saw the mail posted on the
Usenet.
But when I use the Usenet reply the message, I don't see the mail sent to my
mailing test.  Any new posts to the newsgroup ARE NOT sent to my mailing
list.

I don't have any clue at this point why it is only working one way.  
I was looking at the /var/mailman/logs/fromusenet file and this is what I
got:

What I noticed was that I posted a reply message at the Usenet about 10:40,
and this file had some changes from [680...729] to [680...733].
I don't really understand what this mean.

Any inputs is appreciated.  I wonder if there is some configuration files
that I need to configure.  

Thanks
