Sorry to use your post to reply John, but my filters are stopping

I most certainly am not!! My posts are all going out via

Roger,
You may be posting through news.individual (as I am in fact) but you
are using (I have 'doctored' this btw) in the
From 'box' and as I have my filters set to block all google or gmail
senders to prevent spam - then I cannot see posts from them (othen
than through posts replying to you).
Yes, I'm perfectly aware of what I'm doing, without needing to see the
headers. I set up the gmail address explicitly for this purpose.
News.individual.net prefer you to use a real return address, so I
created a throw-away one which I could dispose of if it became too
spam-laden. As it happens, Gmail has very good built-in spam filers,
so very little spam makes it to my inbox - and people *can* reply off
list if they really want to.
It's important to realise that using a gmail return address is *not*
synonymous with posting via Google Groups. Maybe you need to refine
your filters?
[Perhaps someone other than 'Cash' could reply to this so that Cash
can see it if he/she is still blocking gmail].
No :-)
