My ISP fixed his news server hardware and had the news server running by
sometime on Thursday, Oct 9. My ISP’s news server seems to be working
fine now, so I switched from the non-posting free news server back to my
ISP’s server about 20 minutes ago. I arranged an overlap of about 80
minutes, to avoid missing posts and I’ll guess that this switch will
suffer about only 4 duplicated posts on the rsu mailing list as a
result.
So, now posts to rsu mailing list will go out to the rec.sport.unicycling
gateway and not just the mailing list itself (which was the case for the
past seven days). The bi-directional gateway between the rsu mailing
list and rec.sport.unicycling newsgroup (and forums) is again fully
functional!
