Category: nntp/news Group: 2.0.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Scott Lipcon (slipcon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: authinfo before mode reader needed Initial Comment: My ISP just switched to giganews for NNTP service, and my gate_news script stopped working - complaining about authentication needed. I tracked it down to the fact that giganews' server gives a 480 authentication needed error on the 'mode reader' command which mailman tries to send before authentication. I solved the problem for myself by editing Mailman/pythonlib/nntplib.py and changing the NNTP constructor. I simply moved the block that sends the authinfo commands in front of the block that sends the 'mode reader' command, and everything worked. I assume this is not the correct fix for this problem, as other servers may not like the authinfo command before the mode reader command. Perhaps giganews' server is broken, but it would be nice to work around it. Perhaps the authentication should be broken in to its own subroutine, and have the code try authentication whenever it gets a 480 authentication required error. I'm running mailman 2.0.13 on OpenBSD, with python 1.5.2, if it matters.
