I have set up a mail to news gateway to news.eclipse.org. As a spam protection this news server requires that you authenticate yourself to the news server. Consequently I have set up NNTP_USERNAME and NNTP_PASSWORD in my mm_cfg.py file.
I am definately receiving news via the gateway - several messages have from this group have arrived in my inbox - and a check with an independant newsreader confirms that you can only do this if you successfully authenticate. Last night, I thought I had successfully posted a message via the mailing list to the news server, but checking from another source this morning, it appears my message never reached it. Checking the logs in /var/log/mailman/error I find this entry Aug 14 21:47:12 2005 (2418) (NNTPDirect) NNTP error for list "eclipse-webtools": 480 Authentication required for command Which looks as though it is not even trying to login, rather than I made a mistake with username or password. Do I have to do any other steps to ensure that I am properly authenticated for messages to the news server, as opposed to news from it? -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
