Is anyone else having problems accessing the mailing lists through NNTP?

Yeah, I see the occasional message coming through, but it looks like
the gateway between mail and NNTP isn't working.

I've switched my NNTP to use the GMane system. Is that the only official NNTP interface now?

I've not paid attention to netnews in a very long time, but the last I
heard, the postgresql newsgroups had never passed an official group
creation vote. If that's still true, it would be unsurprising if
specific news sites didn't carry them.

Oh, no that's not it. Someone with access to postgresql.org was running an
Mail-to-NNTP gateway so that the mailing lists could also be viewed through
an NNTP client. My Usenet connection was directly to news.us.postgresql.org.

But I can understand the cost/benefit may not be there and I use GMane for a
bunch of other groups so I'm happy with that as a solution.

Thanks to whoever had been doing the gateway thing all these years!

Well, the "someone" was Marc ... hey Marc, are you aware that people are
reporting the mail-to-usenet gateway isn't working lately?
