Right, I did look at it, but what I was wondering is that since it
got the article sent, it obviously got the connection established
somehow (why and how if I'm supposed to reopen it manually?), why
did it still complain to me about denied server (is the article
sending mechanism conflicting with the rest of the system that
relies on manual de-denying of the server?) and why couldn't it
keep it established.
