QS works just fine.

aioe is not an anonymous remailer, it's a news server.

You post this all the time and never back it up. Many of us over in
apas are using QS to post with no problems. This post is posted with
it. I haven't had any posts not turn up.

If you can't get any posts to appear when you use QS, then one of the
following is probably happening:
- You're using an out of date stats source. Pick a new one. If your
stats source is bad then posts will vanish.
- Your news server that you read from is filtering remailer messages
out. Read from a different one.
- Your ISP is blocking emails sent to remailers. Use a different mail
provider or send directly to the MX of the first remailer.

It might help if you tell us what exactly your problem with QS is if
you expect any of us to help. We're not mind readers.

I am using good data sources - bananasplit & melontrafickers

Forte Agent 4 is OK

A possibility.

Which remailer do you recommend?

I don't think melontraffickers is a good source.

This is posted with QuickSilver.

I had much the same problem a while back. I changed my stat source to
Banana and changed my gateways.

Here are two choices of gateways that work fine for me.

To: mail2news@m2n.4096.net,mail2news@dizum.com

To: mail2news@m2n.mixmin.net, mail2news@dizum.com

Use banana and a choice of one of these To: lines and I'll bet you'll
be okay.

Okay, melontrafickers isn't a good source. The last time I looked,
it's stats were old and out of date.

Banana is a good source however. Stick to just using banana for now
and see if that makes a difference.

You misunderstood. Forte Agent 4 is your news *reader*, not your news
*server*. You use Forte Agent to connect to the news server. Looking
at your headers, your ISP that you post through is shaw.ca and I
assume that you also use that to read.

If shaw.ca had some abuse complaints through, didn't bother looking
and just filtered out all messages from dizum for example, many
(most?) remailer messages wouldn't appear on your server as dizum is
the most used mail2news server.

The reason I suggested that your ISP may be filtering the messages out
is because you've posted this question a few times before. Each time,
you get *many* replies but seem to respond as if nobody answered you.
I was wondering if maybe you never even saw the replies because they
went through a route that your news server is filtering out.

Here's an idea: news.readfreenews.net is a free server that you can
use for reading news (not posting). Change your server to that and
have another look, are your posts on that? There are other free ones
too: aioe.org is free for reading *and* posting, news.mixmin.net is
free for reading.

Another way to check would simply be to look at this group (or
alt.anonymous.messages) on Google and then compare it to how it looks
in your news reader, Forte Agent. If there are many missing posts,
chances are your news server is filtering them out.

Well, I've always found banana reliable. If you use banana as the
first remailer in your chain (something like banana,*,*,borked for
example) then you can also use it as your mail server and bypass your
ISP one. Banana's smtp address is fleegle.mixmin.net on port 2525.

Please note that will only work if you use banana as the first
remailer in your chain.

No, QuickSilver most certainly is NOT fine! I am a QuickSilver user and
have been trying for a couple of WEEKS now to post messages, and NONE of
them have EVER showed up. Not ONE! QuickSilver goes through all of the
motions, but nothing ever gets posted, no matter WHICH chain happens to
be selected!!!

You're obviously doing something wrong, as it works just fine.
