Well, the above did make it to:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-test/2026-January/000344.html

The prior notification related to the original
message was:

QUOTE
You are now authorized to post to the
gmane.os.freebsd.test newsgroup.

The original message you sent to the newsgroup will be
posted within ten minutes.

Your friendly autoauthorizer at Gmane.io
https://gmane.io/
END QUOTE

It was wrong relative to indicating that the original
message would show up there.


Given that the new message went through, it seems that if
I see a freebsd-*@freebsd.org for the same list(s) show
up in the To list, it may be that I should delete
it/them from the To list before sending.
