No longer able to access all newsgroups

On some of the newsgroups I subscribe to the messages haven't been updated
for days and I get a pop up error message like
Outlook Express was unable to retrieve all the headers from the newsgroup
'alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia'
Does anyone know how to fix this without unsubscribing and resubscribing?
Thanks.

 

What was the VERBATIM error message?

Also, do you own the domain or have permission to use "none.com",
as used in your email address? If not, please use an INVALID email
address; see: http://members.aol.com/emailfaq/mungfaq.html

That was the verbatim error message for that particular newsgroup although
it also occurred on other groups. The title of the popup was 'Outlook
Express'.
I don't actually own none.com and I have immediately stopped using it.
Thank you for drawing that to my attention.

Thank you for changing your email address, unfortunately
you didn't read the link that I gave, and you are STILL using
a valid domain. You should use xxxxxxx.invalid as the TLD.

As to your question, if you are certain that there was
no more information in the error message, I can only
guess that there might be a problem with your ISP's
news feed. Try contacting them.

Actually I did read the link, but this didn't advise how to protect yourself
from being flamed. The address ensures that any
messages are immediately deleted. This is well documented on several web
sites as being set up for this purpose such as
http://www.greatcentrallake.com/html/spambot_trap.html. I use Outlook
Express to post and it refuses to post messages without a "valid" email
address so I have to use something with an @ and a dot in it.
A quick search on Google indicates that 685,000 news messages have been
posted from , only a handful are mine. The person who
registered this domain may have anticipated that this would be the case.
