For the
freetext.usenetserver.com

I cannot post new messages or reply.

Any help?

Same problem, Luiz.

I receive all messages from rec.radio.shortwave and when I try to reply I get the message:

“Sending of message failed. The message could not be posted because connecting to the news server failed. The server may be unavailable [I've been trying for days!] or is refusing connections. Please verify that your news server setting is correct [it's why I'm here] and try again, or else contact your network administrator.”
What now, Santosh?

Hi! Thanks for this post.

I have a couple of Usenet newsgroups configured on Outlook Express. I receive the messages, but everytime I try to post I get an error (it’s pasted below). I’m using freenews.netfront.net.

The error message is pasted below:

Conta: ‘freenews.netfront.net’, Servidor: ‘freenews.netfront.net’, Protocol: NNTP, Resposta do servidor: ‘441 You are not allowed to post to rec.sport.soccer’, Porta: 119, Segura (SSL): Não, Erro do servidor: 441, Nº do erro: 0×800CCCA9

Thank you very much in advance!
