Subject: RE: Re: Pan
Oops. That should be newshosting.com, not org.
I did register wityh eternal-september but it does have the note:
"As AT&T's fancy blacklist rejects mails from Eternal-September.org (again), the following mail domains can not be used for registration as we will not be able to send you your access data:"
I am woindering if that is the reason that Pan doesn't work?
As Andrew mentioned, if you have successfully registered your email
address with eternal-september.org, you don't need to worry about AT&T
email mail problems.
To configure Pan:
On version 0.155 for Linux:
"Edit" -> "Edit News Servers" -> "Add"
I can't guarantee that the Linux version is the same on your older
Windoze version.
=========
Maybe this would be a good time to check your connectivity:
In Windoze, open a CMD (command) prompt. You should get a black box.
You can be logged in as anything. No need to be Administrator.
After the command prompt, which should be something like C:\Users\Tom>
type the following:
telnet news.eternal-september.org 119 <enter>
The <enter> means hit the Enter key and does not mean type the word
enter. You should see something like this:
200 news.eternal-september.org InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.8.0
(20240731 snapshot) ready (posting ok)
That means you have successfully connected. Next type in a command,
such as:
list <enter>
You should see something like:
215 Newsgroups in form "group high low status"
eternal-september.config 0000001133 0000001115 y
eternal-september.grouprequests 0000000785 0000000775 y
eternal-september.info 0000000237 0000000217 m
eternal-september.moderated 0000000090 0000000089 m
eternal-september.newusers 0000002500 0000002456 y
eternal-september.nocems 0000000391 0000000384 y
eternal-september.support 0000018334 0000010511 y
eternal-september.talk 0000003383 0000003354 y
eternal-september.test 0000013878 0000006788 y
eternal-september.spam 0000000022 0000000022 y
eternal-september.software 0000000038 0000000001 y
Notice that you are NOT logged in as whatever email address you used
to setup the account. You do that in the Pan program as I described
above.
To exit, type:
quit <enter>
If you exited properly, you should see:
205 Bye!
If you made it this far, your internet connectivity is working
correctly and all you need to do is properly configure Pan.
