The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003):

posting n. Noun corresp. to v.: post (but note that post can be nouned). Distinguished from a ?letter? or ordinary email message by the fact that it is broadcast rather than point-to-point. It is not clear whether messages sent to a small mailing list are postings or email; perhaps the best dividing line is that if you don't know the names of all the potential recipients, it is a posting.
The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):

posting A message sent to a newsgroup or mailing list (may also be called "a post") or the act of sending it.
