general problem in newsgroup

[Mr. x]

Hello,

I have a problem of posting message to newsgroup server :
news.microsoft.com.

When I am sending the message directly via news.microsoft.com (using outlook
express) there is a problem, that my messages are not seen on the
newsgroups, and even somethimes they are rejected.

When I am sending the message directly via my ISP provider
(news.012.net.il) - things work fine.

But I want to send message directly via news.microsoft.com.
I have checked another ISPs, and even another newsgroups servers, and they
have the same problem as I have described.

I know that microsoft's goal in current days is to make new protocols, so
people won't get spam emails,
and they also close the chat room for several countries - maybe there is
another change in the NNTP protocol in the current days...

Is there any problem sending emails to this newsgroup ?

Thanks

I had a problem two days ago and last night (so I went to bed). It goes away
eventually. You're not alone others have had the same problem, wish I had
an answer...

Does this behaviour happen only for microsoft newsgroup server, or for
others also ?

The problem is only with the MS servers. Others are unaffected. Or
rather they might have thier own problems. The problem is that there
is so much traffic between spams and this new virus that the newsgroup
servers are having troubles keeping up.

For the past 3 or 4 days, the microsoft newsgroups have been very slow
probably due to the heavy amount of viruses with attachments that they are
rejecting. It is a little better today, but still not as responsive as
usual.
