It goes out the next time you run the script. How long it takes before it shows up on the news server is dependent on each server. Assuming the post was accepted, and you are reading from the same server to which you posted, it should be only a few minutes.

I had waited 24 hours and the posts never showed up, but after making a post and running the script manually, the post would appear in only a few minutes (the older ones were still MIA). I figured out how to restart my crond daemon, and the last post I made went through, so maybe that was the problem.

I've also noticed that when outgoing posts which contain quotes appear on usenet, the quoted text has blank lines between them. They look like this:

Is that normal for the script or did I set up something wrong?
