Posting to the news.supernews.com nntp server, as configured since
31 March 2008, using inews -h, fails with "you do not have
permission to post", because the nntp server responds to the
initial post command with a "480 authentication required" response.
inews.c, receiving what is not an "ok" response, terminates the
connection rather than attempting to offer the article
(at which point authentication, if required, is offered by inews).
This patch fixes the problem for me:
