Hi Ryan,
'newnews' is not currently implemented in the NNTP dialect.
I don't know Jeff's exact reason for not implementing it, but it
could be due to the high number of servers that have newnews
administatively disabled.
A majority of news servers, mine included, have NEWNEWS disabled
because it can place a high load on a busy server. If it's disabled,
you'll get a 502 error:
$telnet news 119
200 cronkite.sunshinecable.com InterNetNews server INN 2.3experimental 14-Dec-1999
ready
newnews alt.binaries.mp3 000309 000000
502 NEWNEWS command disabled by administrator
Cheers,
Kev
