What you fail to provide is the screenshot for the outgoing server. Are you telling me that you can post to news.ethernal-september.org (other than there ethernal-september.org newsgroups without an email address and using localhost as your outgoing nntp server? > > And here is a posting to eternal using localhost for SMTP. > <4afb54a4.4070...@hfigge.myfqdn.de> How in the f&*$ is anyone supposed to find that? We've been through this previously; google is *not* everyone's friend. And even if it were, why bother to use it to find your post. If you can't simply post a url and/or a newsgroup & subject on ethernal-september.org then don't bother posting your silly 4afb54a4.4070...@hfigge.myfqdn.de. <http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0#complete=0&hl=en&source=hp&q=4AFB54A4.4070608%40hfigge.myfqdn.de&btnG=Google+Search&fp=1c443ffcb5a5cce1> <http://groups.google.com/groups?complete=0&hl=en&source=hp&q=4AFB54A4.4070608%40hfigge.myfqdn.de&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wg> Are you just obtuse, lazy, or both? > >>Regardless, you require a valid smtp & email address to post to >>news.. > > You may need one for the verification when getting a password. ;) And you didn't when posting to something other than 'eternal-september.xyx and could post to something like alt.os.linux.ubuntu via news.ethernal-september.org? How interesting & odd. I guess that would mean that anyone can post to their newsserver and simply bypass the requirements outlined in: http://www.eternal-september.org/ http://www.eternal-september.org/RegisterNewsAccount.php?language=en Don't tell the spammers... they'll start spamming all the newsgroups via eternal-steptember.org... _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
