I have built a nntp server and can connect to it ok.  however, when I
try to send headers and the message, mu client always gets 'posting
not allowed' followed by a period on the next line.  Does anyone know
why the server is not accepting the input and causing this error
message?
Thanks

Not all NTTP servers are configured to allow posting to unidentified
users. You need to change your server configuration.

I have tried every possible configuration I can see to do, but still
nothing.  My client does not send a username/password.  I had a
problem sending to another outside nntp server once and that was the
cause of 'posting not allowed' message from it.  I can't figure how to
setup receiving a username/password on the nntp server.

I wonder if anyone has an nntp server example.
