Hello!
I found out myself what's wrong:
I have more then one newsserver configured. On some servers I have the
same newsgroups subscribed.
If I post a message to "nl.test", Mozilla tries to post it on the
*first* newsserver what has that newsgroup subscribed, it does not post
it on the newsserver what I have selected.
After I have removed "nl.test" from the first newsserver, it's no
problem to post in that group.
Bye,
Paul.
