Neither can I find instructions for logging the interaction so that I can capture what's going wrong. I have four nntp servers configured, (for office and home access, plus a couple fo spare :-) ) as although both accounts are with the same isp, they seem unable to give me access to just one nntp server. when posting using the 'home' account and server, (the last server in the list), mozilla gives me the message: "A News (NNTP) error occurred: reading.news.pipex.net: Access denied to your node" This is the *first* server that I've got configured, so I'm not surprised that it doesn't work! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.configure four (two?) news servers that restrict access based on ip address 2.post to the last and see that mozilla tries to post to the first 3. Actual Results: mozilla seems to try to post to the wrong server. Expected Results: post the composed message to the selected nntp server
