I have been having nothing but trouble with OE 6 XP as an NNTP Client.
Messages seem to come in fine, but when I try to reply, or respond to
group, I get an error message:
Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject 'Re: SUBJECT',
Account: 'news.readfreenews.net', Server:
'news.readfreenews.net', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '440 Posting
Not Allowed.', Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 440, Error
Number: 0x800CCCA9
According to the setup instructions and the "Help" menu, everything
should be set right.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
Thanks
Dave
 
Hi davjohn,

According to:

"Because of the amount of abuse lately, the ability to sign up for an
