A friend of mine needs to be able to browse and post to a
foreign server. The browse part was easy, but gnus does not
seem to want to post.
Basically what he wants to accomplish is to use one server for
all but 1 or 2 groups which are only carried on the alternate
server.
Everytime we try to post an article we get the following error
message.
Couldn't send message via news: 441 No such newsgroup as "ctron.test"
Posting to groups carried by the default server works fine. I
suppose he could start gnus using the alternate server as his
default when he plans to post something, but that seems like
the wrong way to approach the problem.
I have, Gnus v5.3; nntp 4.0; nnml 1.0. I think he has a
version or two behind that, but that can be remedied easily
enough. So far we have played mostly with gnus-nntp-server
and gnus-current-select-method. Any other suggestions?
Ideally he would like it set up so gnus "does the right
thing". Basically if he tries to post to a group that he
reads from a foreign server gnus will attempt to post to the
foreign server rather than the default server.
Thanks in advance.
