I think my real email address pepedog at pepedog dot com may have been added
to this filter?

My reasoning is on nntp servers accounts with that address don't show, even
on reset.
If I use the aliased mail used by this post, things are fine.
So I dragged a sent mail to inbox, and added it to safe senders list.
Resetting brought my posts into view.

So really there are 3 questions-
the filter acts on news posts?
is that above address in the filter?
finally, who do I contact to fix this?

Thanks

I don't think its supposed to work on news messages. Did you find them in
the junkmail folder?

Go to Tools | Options | Read and uncheck download xxx headers at a time.
That may be what was preventing you from seeing your posts. That feature
doesn't get the newest messages oftentimes, so its necessary to uncheck it.

Not in the Junk folder, Steve.
If you are willing, I can give you link to another news server/group, and
witness this.
(there should be 9 messages, if not your mail is
filtering that address)
Until I added my own email address to Safe Senders List, unread messages
count would increase, then vanish again.
Like added to a plonk file in other news readers.
If your address posted here is real, you could see if an email ends up in
your junk folder.
Thanks for header # tip, that was never in OE.

The thing is, my address is legit, never used in spam. Its not the domain,
just the one address.
Up to this I thought the filter was a good idea, but being an innocent
target one wonders how I ended up on "the list".
Another effect, I used to sign in to this community with that real address,
having changed to alias address I can no longer rate posts here.

Thanks
Dave
PS, I have been helping Richard Eagle with stationery tests
 
Solution-
Check Tools, Junk E-Mail Options, Blocked Senders
And make sure you haven't added yourself.

I cannot see how I did this, but the effect is to block news server messages
also.

Thanks for your help
Dave
