Hello,

I am new to administering news servers, so please bear with me.

I have an IHAVE feed from our ISP here at work and I things are going along
well. However, when I try to send to comp.protocols.dns.bind I get the
following:

24 15:12:26  :info: Sending email to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
24 15:12:26 3:warn: suck: BAD status code returned {550 Relaying denied to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  } {sxexfilter1.qg.com}
{privatenews.microsoft.com}
24 15:12:26  :info: feed_done, removed
e:/news/spool/sxexfilter1_qg_com.sending
24 15:12:27  :info: suck: mail: Closing mail connection
24 15:12:27  :info: Close later called and now closing chan [3]

my $nntp_feeder is privatenews.microsoft.com because I need a username and
password in order to connect to them - weird thing is that I can send to
comp.os.vms just fine.

This seems to be the only group that is giving me problems and I am not sure
how to proceed from here. I am probably missing something very silly. I can
provide config files if needed but I am not sure which ones to even look at.

Any help on this would be appreciated.


It's your newsfeeds.conf that needs correcting, I gather you have multiple incoming feeds, and multiple outgoing feeds, it appears it's trying to send the normal groups to your microsoft upstream server instead of the main incoming feed....

e.g. typically you want

        site me
                groups *
        site upstream.server.1
                groups *microsoft.*
                type posting

        site upstream.main.server
                groups *microsoft.*
                type dfeed

But that's just a guess, if that doesn't give you the clue you need send me your
        newsfeeds.conf
        dnews.conf
        and a description of where you want to send outgoing items.
