Обсуждение: news server does not respond
Hi, what's up with the news server? My reader can't connect since yesterday evening (MESZ, UTC+2). Telnetting gives: markus@macbook:~$ telnet news.postgresql.org nntp Trying 200.46.204.72... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused A note about my current NNTP experience: I'm just about to switch back to emails again because it seems more convenient to have it all in one IMAP account with multiple folders. Especially when hopping between different machines I've noticed it's better to use IMAP, which stores what I have read on the server. The downside of course is having all the mails on the server and having huge IMAP folders (i.e. for -hackers). Is there something that stores flags (seen, responded, important, etc..) for newsgroups on the server? Probably a NNTP to IMAP gateway, that would at least solve problem no. 1 above... Regards Markus

Uhm, I am using it as well and I noticed a few others complaining as well on IRC. All the better that it is back in action :) regards, Lukas

All the better that it is back in action :) Yeah, and you can't complain when you're cut off... -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="gmail.com" in name ^ "@" ^ tld;; http://cbbrowne.com/info/postgresql.html Know the list of "large, chronic problems". If there is any problem with the window system, blame it on the activity system. Any lack of user functionality should be attributed to the lack of a command processor. A suprisingly large number of people will believe that you have thought in depth about the issue to which you are alluding when you do. -- from the Symbolics Guidelines for Sending Mail
