What happens if you manually try connecting to that server? Here is an example of how to do it, with "==>" indicating lines that I typed. ==> telnet news.barrow.com 119 Trying 69.60.161.3...

But if you get as far as a "281 Authentication Accepted" response, then you've got a configuration problem. -- Floyd L. Davidson Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) floyd@barrow.com
