Subject: Newsgroups - How to post articles to local server?

Hi,

I am running pine 3.90, but can't seem to post messages to my newsgroups, 
it keeps coming up saying "no server defined for newsgroups" even if I 
put in my domain name in the nntp-server option it doesn't work.

Basically I am running Linux, cnews, pine 3.90..

Anyone?

Thanks,
Warwick

	You need to put the name of a "host" that is acting as an
NNTP server.  Not your domain name.
