Started happening a few days back. QSL seemingly posts with no error
messages, but the posts never show up.

I'm using the following programs.

Windows XP 32 bit
Firefox 52.9 32 bit
QSL 1.1.4
Tor 5.5a4 (based on Mozilla Firefox 38.4.0)

Has QSL and MIxmaster all of a sudden been "deprecated" to non
working?

I'm including a few other items besides the template.

I have made no changes recently to any settings.

My QSLTemplate:

This all looks good. Make sure your qsl.defs.txt file has the latest

Wow! My defs file was quite different. How does this happen?

My old one before changed to yours:

I've posted with QSL to a test group. Waiting to see if and when it
appears.

it's been over five hours since I posted to a few test groups using
your "defs" file. Nothing showing. My anon posting problem still
remains.

It's beyond me what's happened in the last few days. I made no
changes to anything on my comp.

To heck with it for now. It's bed time.

Thanks for trying.

Is your 6 years old Tor client still connecting to the network?

I know you're frustrated. I would be too.

I have theory on this. There is something going on here, and it's
not your fault.
By the way, I assume QSL is not showing you any errors when you
send.

This post was sent using QSL.

Please try this experiment:

Manually insert austria as the exit in your chain. Like so:

Fcc: alt.privacy.anon-server
Host: mixmin
From: anonymous@anonymous.com
Chain: *,*,austria; copies=3;
To: mail2news@m2n.mixmin.net, mail2news@dizum.com
Newsgroups: alt.privacy.anon-server
Subject:

Also, remove neodome as one of the mail2news gateways.

Use the template above.

Try sending a test post here to apas, and another message to
alt.test

Next try inserting dizum as your exit. Like so:

Fcc: alt.privacy.anon-server
Host: mixmin
From: anonymous@anonymous.com
Chain: *,*,dizum; copies=3;
To: mail2news@m2n.mixmin.net, mail2news@dizum.com
Newsgroups: alt.privacy.anon-server
Subject:

Again, try a test post here to apas and another to alt.test

Please report your results here.

If this does not work, I have another working template for you to
try.

Yes. It's no problem surfing the Web with it. And QSL won't post
with or without Tor, so the problem seems to be QSLs.

I have tried both dizum and austria with my posting tests.

i get no error messages of any kind when using QSL with or without
Tor.

Everything is seemingly working fine, except the posts never show.

I did remove neodome from my tests, but I don't think that matters.
As far as I know, if neodome or some other gateway isn't working, the
next one in the template will be chosen.

My templates are the same as yours. SEC3 ok'd the template example I
did post.

Something weird is causing this problem out of nowhere.

I should have mentioned earlier that I have all filters disabled in my
Agent newsreader. So that isn't the problem.

I just tried something different. I had a backup copy of QSL
installed on one of my external drives. I updated the stats and tried
posting to a test group with it. It seemingly posted fine.

That copy of QSL has not been backed up or changed in months. If it
also doesn't post, then something else other than my QSL is not
working. Remember, this problem only started some days back.

Glad you got it working, though I guess we will never know what went awry.

Sorry you went through this.

Though it is something specific to your machine and your setup.

QSL is working fine here.

Nope. Still haven't seen my posts made hours ago. I'll see if the
posts appear sometime tomorrow morning. I doubt it though.

If they don't appear, the problem doesn't seem to be on my side of
things. Something, somewhere down the line is blocking my posts.
Weird.

The problem IS on your side, Carl. Period. You're in denial.

This post sent from QSL.

Forgot you are still using XP.

Can't confirm it, but you may be right.

Might be worth a shot though. You don't lose anything but a few minutes
of your time.
