Now I remember.  We had a discussion about this in late Sep early Oct

There are some missing pieces in the thread here:

..but I still have my copies, which show some initial confusion which I
eventually straightened out.  At that time I was able to access the
lugnet.robotics system.

The gist is that there is a webforum integrated with an nntp newsserver
and the webforum is also integrated with a mailing list -- so people can
signup to have the forum posts [which are also news posts] mailed to
them.

You post to the nntp newsserver using a good addy.  That post gets
mailed to a mailing list recipient whose server bounces your item, for
whatever reason.  That isn't the bouncing server's fault.  That is the
fault of the way the lego robotics system is configured.

What you should do is use an invalid addy in your postings to that group
or newsserver.  Which I said back then.
