OK, so my task is simple: I want to post a message on Google Groups.
It appears that you're supposed to be able to sign up by sending a blank email to foobar+subscribe@googlegroups.com. I did this, and got a confirmation email. I clicked the link, which took me to a CAPTCHA on the web interface. I filled that in, and received another confirmation email. I clicked the link on that, and the web interface seemed to indicate that I'm subscribed now.
So… how do I send an email? I would have thought that simply sending a message to foobar@googlegroups.com would do it. But I sent a test message over an hour ago, and I still can't see it through the web interface. What am I doing wrong?

As a group owner I can tell you that it is possible that your subscription and/or your message are awaiting confirmation from the group managers. Some groups do not allow new users posting rights until they are conformed.
Another possibility is that the group doesn't allow members to send messages.
My recommendation is to wait a bit longer (until a moderator checks his/her email). Or attempt to contact the owner/moderator to ask for more information.
