The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'ashkat???', Account:

"Flying Moon" appears to be hosted in Germany. Your NNTP-Posting IP
connection is hosted in Turkey. Very well could be that your ISP has started
blocking outbound port 25.

The 'mail.flyingmoon.com' server is not responding to Telnet to port 465, or
port 587, so this will be difficult to work around. Does TurkTelekom, or
whomever your ISP (on the TurkTelekon IP network) is offer email service? If
so, perhaps you could use their SMTP Message Submission (outbound) mail
server.
