X VERSION, RELEASE, and PATCH LEVEL:
X 11
CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
VAXstation 3100, and others
NEWS SYSTEM and VERSION:
xrn
SYNOPSIS:
Two unrelated problems:
(1) Posting does not work
(2) strange message about kill-file appears
DESCRIPTION:
(1) Messages that I post to newsgroups do not appear in newsgroup.
Occasionally, posting will work, but usually the message will be lost.
This problem is not specific to the new beta-release, it happened on
the old version too.
(2) This I think is new to the 6.18beta version. Although I have not ever
used KILL, I get error messages saying "Malformed KILL file entry".
