I have configured two newsservers, news.mozilla.org and news.student.utwente.nl. When I try to post a message to any utwente.* newsgroup, for example utwente.test then I get this error message: A News (NNTP) error occured: 437 Unwanted newsgroup "utwente.test" Followed by: [StringID-2147467259?] Posting to a group on the first news server, for example netscape.public.test works fine.

Reassign to Seth

accepting.

as a work around, try specifying the exact newsgroup: news://news.student.utwente.nl/utwente.test this should work. the problem is the logic for determing which server to post to is not complete. if you find that the workaround works, report back, and we'll change the summary to reflect the real problem.

This works.

Would this be hard to fix? Any ideas where I should look?

edwin, give me a minute to write up where to implement this, and I'll post it here, in case you have the time to fix it for us. thanks, seth.

this needs to get fixed ASAP. adding dogfood tag, so I get the PDT+ blessing so I can work on it.

Putting on PDT+ radar.

working on fix now.

fixed.

edwin, a few days back I promised to tell you where and how to fix this, but I never got back to you. if you are curious what I ended up doing, see my recent checkins to nsNntpService.cpp

Worked OK for verifying on WinNT 2000-01-03-09-M13 commercial build for Netscape internal and external multiple news servers now. But, since this bug is reported form edwin@woudt.nl, and I am not able to access the new server: news.student.utwente.nl.....edwin, would you please verify for us in order to "mark as verified" for this bug? Thanks.

It works for me (I would have complained otherwise ;-) Marking verified.

edwin, thanks for double-checking and verifying this bug.

edwin, I just notice that this bug was opened for all the platforms/OS, So, I need to verify on Linux & Mac platforms... It works OK for the Linux 2000-01-03-08-M13 commercial build, too. But I need to wait for better Mac commercial build since there was bug#22928. edwin, which platform have you tested, even you already marked as verified, if you have time...would you also please double-check for us for the other platforms? Thanks.

I shouldn't have opened this bug for 'all' platforms as it only occurred to me on Windows. (I did not test any other platform)

OK. That's fine. I will verify on Mac for Netscape internal & external news server then. Thank you very much!!
