Thanks -- there are some comments there from the OP that clear up
what's happening.

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.
