Each time i attempt to post to more than one newsgroup, the post fails with the message '441 Non existant newsgroup(s) Server'
I can post to the newsgroups individually always to the same server.
Please help

I have run into that in folders with multiple newsgroups. It almost always
turns out (for me) that the server does not have 1 of the particular
newsgroups.
Ergo: my note on multiple server posting

could it be that the server does not allow you to post to more than in one newsgroup at the same time?
I think (not sure) they call it crosspost and they are worried one is messing up the newsgroup by posting in several newsgroups?

I immediately post to the same newsgroups on the same server with PowerPost/Sharkpost.

No - I have to use PowerPost/Sharkpost to achieve crossposting which works faultlessly.

yes, i tried to crosspost to alt.test and alt.binaries.test and it didn't work, but when i tried to post separatedly it worked.
it seems it doesn't form the "Newsgroups:" header right, i'll fix it in the next release, it is something trivial.

servers don't accept:
Newsgroups: alt.binaries.test, alt.test
they require:
Newsgroups: alt.binaries.test,alt.test
i.e. no spaces between newsgroup names (i just wanted it to look nicer in the newsgroups edit box
).
i've fixed it here, it will be in the next release.
