The algorithm for propagating posts round the newsservers is absolute cr*p,
these sorts of complaints appear periodically on most newsgroups.
Try NIN http://news.individual.net/ it is IMO the tops for text based
newsgroups and at 10Euros per year worth every penny. Read the conditions
and FAQ because they are a bit picky about what they will let you do.

We recommend creating a special e-mail address for use with Usenet articles
only and protecting it with suitable filtering rules. This way your regular
mailbox will stay untroubled, but you can still receive mail responses to
your Usenet articles.
Another option is using the Top Level Domain ".invalid" (see RFC 2606). The
Top Level Domain ".invalid" is intended for construction of obviously
invalid addresses like "[email hidden]". Such addresses do not
disturb and pollute regular name space and can easily be identified as
invalid by both humans and machines.
