No, it's not related to cookies AFAIK.
I went and checked, and I can see your latest email setup request in the system
, and it's marked IGNORE (meaning that the preprocessing knows that it's exactly
the same as one that has already been approved).
Are you sure you are putting in exactly the same characters in your newsreader
setup for all the fields?
That's the extent of my NNTP debugging knowledge though, as I don't use it with
LUGNET any more, haven't for years. If you're SURE you're putting in exactly the
same chars in the right fields, you need Todd or someone, as it's beyond me.
