Hey Guys, I just turned on nntp on james 2.1a1-cvs and experienced similar oddness. i added a made up news group to the config file and restarted james. i then configed outlook express and posted a test to the group, it posted just fine. it's in the folder and can be viewed in notepad. when i try to download in outlook express i get 'an unknown error has occured'
since i'm a huge fan of forte i decided to configure free agent to see what would happen. free agent could read the basic info, size and subject.... message size: 65535 i posted 2 messages and both are less than 1000, and sender info was displayed where the subject info should have been..... when i tried to download the message free agent did not error but nothing really happened either except a never ending conversation between the two computers...........packet sniffer captured this..... client: ARTICLE 0 server: no such article number in this group client: ARTICLE server: no such article number in this group once the client droped the zero and just asked for ARTICLE the conversation just went on and on, back and forth until i told free agent to quit ---randy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Woolley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "James Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 7:08 AM Subject: NNTP : cannot download postings > I have James running with only the NNTP service enabled.
