Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #912072 +++

The current setup with list-to-newsgroup-to-giganews-to-google archiving is failing.
We repeatedly miss emails in the public archive for various reasons, most often because the archive didn't accept the message for whatever reason.

As an example, an announcement with changelog for NSPR version 4.10 had been sent by Wan-Teh on May 29, but it doesn't show up at the current archive:

Over to server-ops: can you figure out what happened to Wan-Teh's message? Independent on what happens to the NSPR mailing list (see bug 912072), if there's a problem here we need to fix it.

You can find a copy of the message in the newsgroup on news.mozilla.org.

Yes - it's news://news.mozilla.org:119/[e-mail] , according to Thunderbird.
