Hi Jerry,
Reporting something here that I think might be a recent bug:
Even when I'm signed in, I'm not seeing the Author field in the headers on any
new posts. On old posts, however, the Author field does show up.
In looking at the raw message ("View Raw Message"), there is an NNTP header
called "X-Real-Life-Name:" that is missing on newer messages. For example, here
is an older message which does have it:
http://news.lugnet.com/news/raw.cgi?lugnet.admin.general,14097
and here is a new message which does not have it:
http://news.lugnet.com/news/raw.cgi?lugnet.events,2673
Likely, this is an issue in the mid-level NNTP injection code, where the web
interface is required to add "X-Real-Life-Name:" to the NNTP message whenever a
signed-in user makes a post, so that later when the post is viewed, the web
interface can examine this header to know the name of the author.
A related issue appears to be that the web interface is not falling back to the
"From:" header when the "X-Real-Life-Name:" header is missing. When the
"Author:" segment is displayed in the .pml code for viewing a message, it looks
first for the "X-Real-Life-Name:" header and next for the "From:" header, but it
looks like this has inadvertently been broken somehow. I can help you dig
through the code to fix this if you like.

Is there a problem with authentication e-mails?
I've posted two messages via NNTP yesterday and not yet received an
authentication e-mail, plus I submitted a multiple post authentication request
from the web site and have not yet received that e-mail either.
Play well,
Jacob

Is there a problem with authentication e-mails again?
I've posted twice via NNTP and not yet received an authentication e-mail, plus I
submitted a multiple post authentication request from the web site and have not
yet received that e-mail either.

I tried to post via nntp twice today in lugnet.trains. I haven't received any
confirmation/authentication messages.

As a matter of fact it was an email congestion problem, the NNTP server itself
was entirely fine all the time.
Anyway, I got the issue resolved, with some 20,000 spam emails down the drain.
Sorry for all inconveniences you may have experienced.
