The message could not be posted because connecting to the news server
failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing connections.
Please verify that your news server setting is correct and try again,
or else contact your network administrator.
Assuming that you have the correct IP address and port, that could be
due to attempting to post from an IP address that is block listed.
What IP address were you posting from?
Update: I did a Telnet into that server and the banner is
201 puce.readfreenews.net NNRP Service Ready - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(no posting)
Hmmmm. I've been beginning to think it's something like that:
free to read, but no posting. Someone mentioned posting via
email would be possible. Any thoughts on the format of the
email address? Something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Guess I'll look for some other options.
Kind regards,
