  Problems with news server - Connection refused
 
Hi, I was able to work with the LUGNET news server successfully a while ago. When retring today with the same settings, it fails with "connection refused". My environment is: - Mozilla news reader V1.6 - Windows XP Pro SP1 - ZoneAlarm firewall on (...) (19 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) ... (...) Cool then. I'll update the auth emails with this link, and perhaps we could ask one of the curators to add links on the appropriate sidebars. (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Hmm. Let me know if happens again. (...) Shouldn't be anymore, no. (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) I happened as soon as i visited the link in the email, and happened every time i tried. I have just tried again, and it works. Is there still a delay between them being posted and them appearing in the list? (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Well, that's no good. Can you reproduce that? How did you get there? I'm assuming you approved some posts first? LMK! (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Erm.. well... "An internal server error occurred: Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at (eval 1) line 24. " This appears to happen regardless of whether there is a pending email or not. (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Lets see how it goes this time. (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Ok, I think I have a good fix for this in place. Try it now (with new posts)? Thanks! Dan (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Basically some people enter a fake email address to be shown on their posts, so that spam bots won't be able to harvest their address. They "hide" the real address - instead of saying "dan@example.com" it would say something like (...) (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Ouch, good point. I don't use a spamblock, so I didn't think of that. Hmmm. I might have to think on this a little. (...) Yes, it would be sent there. That's not right. I'll see if I can fix this later today. (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Well... There are no pending posts for 'dean@earlsoft.co.uk'. What is the spamblocked address Thomas mentioned? (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) I'll give it a go. (ps, this is a multipurpose post to test with :) (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Well, it works on spamblocked e-mail addresses (those set up at posting setup) not the unblocked addresses that people usually think of as their addresses. That is somewhat counter-intuitive. And since I have yet to receive the e-mail that (...) (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
I just finished working a new feature that I think people were asking for. Basically, it's the ability to check and authorize all the posts you have pending with one click. I think it's all done and working, but if you want to try it out, please (...) (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp) ! 
 
  Bug fixed
 
Just a short note - while working on something else, I ran into a bug I forgot about. When posting to multiple groups via SMTP, the poster would get multiple copies of the authentication message - one for every group posted to - even though any of (...)

  Re: Is the NNTP daemon dead?
 
Testing. If this works, then NNTP is working for me. :) Rob "Jan-Albert van Ree" <javanree@vanree.net> wrote in message news:IEyDoK.18vE@lugnet.com... (...) (19 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Is the NNTP daemon dead?
 
For some reason the NNTP server isn't responding. Can't post, can't fetch new postings. Anything up? -- Jan-Albert van Ree (19 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  NNTP access
 
I have seen several pages on the site listing lugnet.com, as well as news.lugnet.com as the server used for NNTP. They also give port 119 which appears to be closed on both servers. It may be worth correcting/updating these. (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Posting problem
 
(...) No, the length wouldn't be the issue. If it's giving you an error message about making sure posting setup has been done, it means the 'From' line was somehow mangled. Unless(!) the webserver was unable to contact the NNTP server in those (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Todd, The message to which I was replying is: (URL) my reply is: (URL) it's got something to do with the length of the post? The original post I was replying to is quite long, but I had snipped everything... just thinking out loud... Thanks (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
