[linux] Usenet posting problems?

[Duncan Smith]

I use slrn to read/post to Usenet from off-campus.  I log in over SSL,
using my NetID, and it works quite well.  But I have one quite
irritating problem:

Whenever I post an article or followup, slrn sleeps for about two
minutes, complains that posting failed, and offers to repost.  But
it's actually posted!

I'm using a From address that isn't my UW address, for obvious
reasons.  Here are the headers of one of my messages, as received by
Google Groups:
