The first thing to remember is that any gmane.* group is actually a 
mailing list, presented as a newsgroup via gmane.org's list2news 
service.  That makes things a bit more complicated and changes the 
troubleshooting methods.

What happens if you email the post directly to the mailing list address, 
using the same from address as you would posting via gmane, but bypassing 
gmane?

That's what I'd try first, to narrow down the range of possibilities, of 
which there are otherwise too many to try to explain at this point.

The list posting address is /likely/ to be found in the headers of any 
post to the group -- most lists add a number of list-* headers, including 
list-post, the one of interest here.  Alternatively, that information 
should be available on the Mageia site.
