error message

I can't get replies to nz.general to post. The error message is below.

Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject 'Re: Fireworks.',
Account: 'news.eternal-september.org', Server: 'news.eternal-september.org',
Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '441 220', Port: 563, Secure(SSL): Yes,
Server Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9

What should I do please?
Or is it time to get the computer man?

I've tried restarting the computer.

All is well. The posts went from the Outbox just now.
So I didn't need to do anything.
Perhaps something fixed itself overnight, though the computer was switched
off.

 

Hi Geo

It wasn't a problem with your computer: it was a temporary problem with
the Eternal-September news server that you (and I) are using.

For some time starting on Monday evening (NZ time), anyone trying to
post a message using Eternal-September got the same '441 220' error that
you noted. The administrator at Eternal-September fixed it before 6 AM
Tuesday (NZ time).

 

Thank you. It's good to know it wasn't this computer, or something stupid I
might have done

 

Thank you. If I get the same message again in future I'll just wait and see
what happens.

Suggest checking the group eternal-september.support. There's often
something there quite quickly if the problem is major ... even if it's only
someone complaining, it indicates a problem larger than 1 person/computer.

 

That's a good idea, thank you.

 

I've just tried eternal-september support and a message about it is there.

 

Yep, confirmed. I got it too and just waited it out. It's an excellent free
service that rarely has problems - and when they do they tend to fix them
quite quickly. ;-)
