Do you have your original message's Message-Id? I think it's
<39AC0855.68B68787 / austin.ibm.com> getting from your message's
References header. I can't find this message in my local NetNews
server. Thus, your original message is not appearing in the ML. I am
not sure why your original message is not delivered to my
server. Sorry.

Does any one know how long take to deliver a message to the world? But
all the messages I, or my gateway program, received are relayed within
30 min. I am running the program every 30 min. And the messages send to 
the ML arrive at my mail folder again in less than 5 min.

I might be misunderstanding your question.

Do you think it is helpfull if I make a WWW page or somethig that have
a list I received and relayed?
