Re: 500 This is an announcement group and you do not have permission to post to it.

That doesn't really tell us very much; could you please provide a bit more information.

That is expected behaviour from Announcement groups. (Spam control section of settings.) (And I am only assuming from the short post that this is the setting for the group!)

From the wiki on starting your group:

Spam Control -
?
You must choose from among these four options. At least one of these options must be set as a spam-control measure.
?
Restricted Membership - Moderators must approve any new subscribers.
Announcement Group - Only Owners and Moderators are allowed to post.
Moderated - ALL messages are held pending moderator approval before being sent to the group.
New Users Moderated - Messages from new subscribers are held pending moderator approval. After the set number of consecutive messages are approved, the subscriber is automatically unmoderated.

If you choose Restricted only, you do not need to moderate ANY messages, if you wish. But you will have to approve new subscribers. There is no Spam Control setting that will allow a new subscriber to join your group without approval and immediately post an unmoderated message.
