Hi,
The command is in the right format. This error would occur if tellnews was talking to the wrong server. Check the output of tellnews, this shows the welcome message which will clearly indicate if it is DNews or not... should look something like this -
200 ball DNEWS Version 5.7c1,, S0, posting OK
If it says this, please send us the complete output. If it looks different, change dnews.conf so that 'myname' points to the correct hostname for the DNews server and reload.

now i want to add a new function in my newsgroup to allow all users to delete their own posted news. normally as administrator i can delete a news in the DNEWS Manager using the "tellnews killitem" command, but when i send this server command to the newsserver:
tellnews killitem myGroupName ItemNumber or tellnews killitem "<messageId>"
it doesn't work and give the error message: "500 command not recognized"
did i give the command in a wrong format or is there an other way to make it??? i have searched all over the website but still cannot find a way out. please help.
Many thanks in advance! Eric
