I've noticed that, when syncing Forum posts back to an NNTP newsgroup, if the newsgroup posting fails for *any* reason (even if that reason is transient) the posting is never re-tried and the post will never appear on the newsgroup.

For transient errors, e.g. if the NNTP server is unreachable, it would make more sense to re-try the posting on the next run, at least a limited number of times, or until successful.

Obviously if the NNTP server explicitly rejects the message due to violation of one of its policies, then we wouldn't want to re-try it Smile
