Local error in processing, has anyone encountered that by any chance 
? ;-)


I've never seen this.

Also, it would be really helpful if I could debug the NNTP session in 
some way .. nttpd doesn't seem to have the options for that, or am I 
wrong ?


Just capture the protocol on port 119.

I did, and here's a summary.

>>> indicates client to server, server is the NNTPd
<<< indicates server to client, client is lmtp2nntp

(Mailbox does not exist)

Which leads me to believe, the news.nl.test box (which is what im 
posting to for testers) does not exist.

However when I check using cyradm:

localhost> lam news
anyone lrsp
localhost> lam news.nl
Mailbox does not exist
localhost> lam news.nl.test
anyone lrsp
would lead me to believe the mailbox does exist.

WFIW: I created the mailbox using the 'cm news.nl.test' command

My relevant imapd.conf entries:

partition-news: /var/spool/imap-news
newsprefix: news
newspostuser: usenet
newspeer: news.my-isp.net
Any insights ?

Thx,

Nils.
