Subject: SMTP connection ?

From: [email-masked] (Cynthia Guy)

We have just installed Pine 3.91 on our network and we are trying to setup
the news option.  I have our nntp-server correct and since we are using
Unix, we should not have to define the smtp-server.  We are using sendmail
though.  When I bring up the folder list, the news-collection is there. 
When I select one of the news groups, Pine tells me it is trying to open the
news group and then I receive [421 SMTP connection went away].  What does
this mean?  Is there a error manual or something for Pine?  Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Are you telling it to use 'nntp' or 'smtp' protocol to use? Since you are
running Sendmail as MTA you don't need to specify anything for the smtp-server.

Do this at the prompt and see if it works...

pine -f "*{your.nttp.server.adrs/nntp}comp.mail.pine"

In the above just replace your nntp-server's address.

In comp.mail.pine, some queer sunspot activity fomented Cynthia Guy to pen:
