Hello All,like 'Newsgroup FSX_GEN' and find that works best with Thunderbird.
I'm using the RPi version of Mystic, and start services with "mis". I enabled the NNTP service in order to try and interact with the message base in that way (as opposed to the classic offline packets, which works fine with a specific limitation). Now, in trying to get Thunderbird to interact with the NNTP server, I found that NNTP is not working as expected. Is there any other configuration that I need to put in place before the NNTP server will see the message bases?
Here is some debug output I have gathered in my noodling session this morning:
A transcript of the actual telnet session:

You notice it says 'bcw142 -> All', that message was sent NNTP so gets send to All (like Usenet which it follows) that causes the no reply kludge.
