Looking at the headers of your latest post you appear to have a
problem with your post formatting. You have managed to get the
secondary headers (archive-name etc.) into the actual headers of your
post, which is not correct; the secondary headers should appear at the
beginning of the _body_ of the post. i.e.
Path: ...!not-for-mail
From: Your Name <your@email.address>
Subject: ...
Message-ID: <xxxx@xxx.xxx>
Date: ...
Newsgroups: ...,comp.answers,news.answers
<BLANK LINE>
Archive-Name: ...
Posting-Frequency: ...
URL: ...
<BLANK LINE>
Actual contents of FAQ start here
Failing to get this right will result in the automated archives not
picking up your post, as you've discovered.

you might want to read <http://mail-abuse.org/rbl/> (look for the section
on nominations) for one way to apply pressure to spam sites.
