posting messages to freebsd-newbies new group

2004-02-23 Thread David Clarke
Hello:
 
I have been trying for days to configure Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 and now
Outlook Express as my new reader, I am able to read postings, but I cannot
post any messages.
 
When I attempt to post a message I get the following error:
 
Outlook Express could not post your message.  Subject 'Verifying FreeBSD ISO
images', Account: 'news.gw.com', Server: 'news.gw.com', Protocol: NNTP,
Server Response: '440 Sorry, you're not allowed to post.', Port: 119,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 440, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9
 
I have officially requested joining the new group and confirmed my request,
they sent me back a password, but even though I have used my email address
with my password, nothing has changed, it still gives me the same error.
 
Can you please tell me what else I need to do to be able to post messages to
this news groups and others.
 
Regards,
David Clarke.

Hmm.  We don't really have control over the newsgroup, as these are
essentially copies of the freebsd-newbies mailing list.  I'd recommend
emailing your message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead.  It should
eventually turn up on the newsgroup.
