I am just guessing this early in the morning, but I believe that the logic
of the FAQ server is such that before you can specify a parent archive name,
it must already be on the server....
So you would send "Part 1" _WITHOUT_ mentioning the "parent-archive" and
then start mentioning it when you submit "part 2".
The server uses the auxiliary headers to get the archive name for its
internal records. I am sure if I am out to lunch on this I will get
corrected by the main FAQ elf from the south shore of lake Ontario.
By the way, you can search past postings on this list by using the web
server at http://www.faqs.org/ (implying that your posting should use a
different password than your example)
Have a good one!

Greetings Folks
I just tried the FAQ mail-to-news server for the first time and got a
command line error. The result was a bounce back at me.
I followed the FAQ server help file (read it 4 times) so I'm a bit
puzzled.
This is my first submission to the FAQ server and once accepted it will
be part 1 of a multi-part FAQ that I need to add-to.
Following the how-to I posted:
ADD password interval parent-archive-name
--specifivally for the rec.nude newsgroup I used:
ADD recnudefaq 30 nude-faq/part1
Note that the primary and secondary headers were installed in the message
body Ok, separated by a single line. The actual text of the FAQ was also
separated by a single line (see below). All header parts and archive
names have been previously approved. All FAQ text was sent as plain
ascii as a part of the message body.
I'm wondering if the FWD slash or the hyphen in the archive name is the
problem?
Here is what came back........
