Help...please. Does anyone know of a host for the newsgroup

alt.food.low-fat

I need to access this using IMAP or an NNTP server that does not need a
special account or password as the ISP that my company is on does not
carry any newsgroups.

Thanks in advance.

Andrea - I'm not familiar with the "400 host not recognized" error 
     message.  Sorry.  It looks like you are using a WWW browser, and have 
     properly set up the NTTP host name.  Perhaps you should call the WWW 
     browser company for more information on this specific message.  Try 
     simply using your email to subscribe to this news group, instead of 
     trying to access it through whatever browser you're using.
     
     Hope this helps ...
     
     - Michael

Thanks...I did but I get a message "400 host not recognized in the
autorization file.

Perhaps my santax is wrong

nntp = news.alterdial.uu.net

news folder = *{news.alterdial.uu.net/nntp}[]

Is that right?
