I am having problems accessing the newsgroups via Thunderbird. It was
working fine, but yesterday our local systems gorup did some upgrades to
my system. Now, it no longer works. Normally, I would blame them for the
problem. But in this case I'm not so sure, since I can access Microsoft
and Intellij newsgroup servers.
I've deleted the account in Thunderbird several times to no avail. I
always get 'A News(NNTP) error occurred: Aborted by user' error dialog,
when I tried to anything with the newsgroup.
I am posting this via the web interface. Are there any problems the
newsgroups? If not, has anyone see this issue before. If so, do you know a
solution.
Thanks,
Jeff Duska

I'm not using Thunderbird but a close relitive, Mozilla (current nightly
update).
I use:
(NNTP) news.eclipse.org
port 119
I am not using SSL.
Make sure the SMTP is set correctly. This is probably your problem. Call
your ISP and verify their SMTP address has not changed. I had the same
problem when they secured up their SMTP server. They actually changed
their address.
This problem has to be on your ISP side.
