The first step is to get your posts on the archive at RTFM. Once they are
there, faqs.org automagicaly picks them up once a day. If RTFM will not
archive them, (or has not archived them) then that has to be "troubleshot"
first.

once they are on RTFM, check faqs.org the next day to the archiving report,
which lists all the faqs that it has picked up. The other trick is to use
the "search by author" to see all the faqs posted from your e-mail address.

(sorry for including the entire original post. on Beyond mail that is a
"feature")

I found


ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.mail.misc/ANNOUNCE%3A_pointer_to_Procmail
_tips_page_%28pm-tips.txt%29

But it's dated May 1998 and since them I have changed NNTP posting method

I was having trouble withg setting regular posting before the summer, so
all this mixup can very well be my fault. I used mail2news gateway that
dropped the Approved: header. Now the postings are directly fed to NNTP
port and I expect that to work next 16th day.

Is there anything that I should check now or do come back after 16th day
and check the situation?
