F Murtz, just FYI, my ISP, rather than having a news server himself,
usually re-brands a feed from the Bigpond server, but this feed has

anyone there that knows about news servers!!
I read somewhere else that Big Pond was out of business... dead, as you
mentioned.
A good news server suggestion mentioned previously would be a switch to
Eternal-September.org which is free.

I use eternal sept but I also want to use bigpondnews server which is
what I pay telstra for.
I have sent email to telstra but have no faith in that unweildy
organization, may get reply if they find the little old man with a
beard that lives in a cave that is the only one in telstra that knows
that a telstra news server existed.
There is lots of scuttlebut repeated ad nauseam by non users that it
has ceased but I need proof from someone that uses it before I can
address the problem that may be with seamonkey.
Every time that seamonkey updated (in the last few months) I lost
contact with bigponds server which on one occasion worked again when I
was asked for password which I entered. That was the only occasion It
asked for password.
On an earlier occasion it started working after a session with a
telstra tech but I dont know why and he did not tell me what did it.
That's a shame. I'm not convinced the problem is related to Seamonkey
[at least I hope not], but in any case you might want to commiserate
with these users who can't access it either, and pick up some
information from them:
