NNTP posts work for a while, then stop [message #158061]

Hello!

We configured FUDforum to mirror 8 newsgroups, and althought it continues to pull down articles from the newsgroup to the FUDforum group, it will not post articles to the newsgroup that are created on the FUDforum group.

The weird thing is that it worked for a few days, then stopped.

There are no errors in the error log.

What do you think?

Please check for errors in your data/error/.nntp/error_log file.

It will also help if you can add debugging code to the "post_message" function in file "nntp.inc" to see where it chokes.

Best regards.

Thanks for the tip about the error log. I was apparently looking at the wrong error log, earlier.

Here is the error we are getting:

Posting Failed, NNTP Server Said: 441 From: address not in Internet syntax

Hi,

When done, please simulate the problem and report the new error message (with FROM-line ) here.

Best regards.

That explains it. You need to disable Obfuscate e-mails in NNTP posts (NNTP_OBFUSCATE_EMAIL) form Global Settings Manager in the Admin Control Panel.

Best regards.

Great! Thank you for the feedback.

Maybe we should move this setting from the Global Settings Manager to the Newsgroup Manager. What do you think?

There are so many options in FUDforum, that I doubt I would have found it by myself in either place!

I'm not too familiar with the NNTP protocol, so I have a question. Are there any NNTP servers that would accept the obfuscated email addresses? During my testing, I configured newsgroups for two different nntp servers. As it happens, neither one liked the obfuscated email addresses. Maybe it shouldn't even be possible to send such an email to an NNTP server? The addresses could still be obfuscated where displayed on pages.

I'm just very glad that it works so well, now!

Thanks again!
