Default error posting

I also get the message that the NNTP server has not responded in 60 seconds
and asking me whether I want to stop or wait. As for the size of the
message it is just a small text posting with only a few lines of text.

I can download headers and messages and groups from the server so I am able
to connect to the server in that way, just have the problem posting. I can
Ping the server with no problem, I don't know about Telnet but I presume
this wouldn't prove give any further clues?

The server is with my ISP so I contacted them but so far they have been
unhelpful saying they don't provide support to the newsgroup service! I
think this also answers your question about blacklisting as I am connecting
through their service also.

Any other thoughts?

Are you getting timeouts also? Are these large messages (i.e., more than
70-100KB)? Have you contacted the news server? Can you connect to the
news server using telnet?

Attempts to telnet from here (US) only provide a reverse DNS error
message so it's possible they may be blacklisted by some providers.
