I also don't see these on GMane. It's possible that they are getting caught in
one of GMane's several levels of spam filtering.

I'm seeing some weird issues where google groups posts on another
newsgroup aren't making it to the non-google nntp server that I use.
The paranoid in me wonders if google is doing that on purpose, but it's
a pretty recent development, and other explanations are possible.

Most likely, other providers are blocking google groups as a known source
of spam.

Thanks for all the replies, but as I've have just seen a pile of
messages, some of which date back to 28/03/2012, I'd hazard a guess that
something somewhere was wrong and has now been fixed Or ... ?
