Sorry - I had missed that. I checked the code again, and still see no reason why leafnode would do anything wrong here. I'll accelerate the "way out" though for the next release, a single timeout here should skip to the next server or quit immediately rather than hanging for 4 * timeout_fetchnews. Consider setting timeout_fetchnews to a lower value, say, 30 (seconds that is) for the nonce. > How-ever, I have just tried again to post a message in a newsgroup and > everything works fine now. So, it's ok for me to close this bug. Perhaps, if they are load balancing, one of their servers might be faulty. -- Matthias Andree -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
