So this seems like my issue is not solved yet, but looking into my E-mail inbox showed
the following interesting thing:

From: Gmane Autoauthorizer <auth-a403f8c7ceec3b67033fbc8069ee80ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

You have sent a message to be posted on the
gmane.linux.debian.user newsgroup.

Before the message is posted on the newsgroup, you have

Your friendly autoauthorizer at Gmane.org

I replied to this message, so this question is probably resolved now.

Gmane has nothing to do with Debian. Likewise Google Groups, New
Generation and various other self-appointed "gateways".

Consider subscribing to the debian mailing lists directly instead of
using an unassociated third party. Gmane offers no advantages over
directly subscribing to the list, and all the disadvantages.

Dealing directly with the lists will, amongst other benefits, prevent
this breaking of threads that makes it harder for everyone.


I really prefer using Gmane to getting all those raw E-mail messages. There is far too
much traffic on that list of yours.
