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. :shock:

Please help

Regards

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. :roll:

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

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.
