The OP is using some port/connection monitoring software. Whenever he's connected to the internet, it shows that he's connected to this server on the NNTP port. He's trying to stop that connection from ever happening. He never uses NNTP, preferring the mozillazine web forums. (I think now that when he said Seamonkey forum, he must have meant the the mozillazine one.) I believe some news client on his machine is running and is configured to connect with this server automatically. Since he never uses NNTP, it's safe to wipe out that account in his client, once we can find out what the client is. I've already given instructions in case it's SeaMonkey. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Blank newsgroup post on GigaNews?

Unsubscribing and resubscribing did not fix the problem either. It seems to happen RARELY with GigaNews' posts. I know the posts are fine because I can see them in Tin through Linux with the same NSP account and Google Groups. It seems like SM2 is doing something weird. Thank you in advance. :) Is this also a Thunderbird problem? Does this happen with other NSPs? If so, a bug report should be submitted. -- David E.

It appears that no effort is being made to close this bug. Getting rid of spurious accounts is a bother. First, I use Tbird (you would use SeaMonkey) to delete the account with the Account Settings window. Then I shut down Tbird and go to its profile. There, I delete the folders for the accounts and the .rc and .msf files for the accounts. Today, while I was no longer being requested for a user ID and password, I still saw a spurious account in my list of accounts. I finished the cleanup by using the Config Editor to delete preference variables for the accounts. -- David E.
