(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Ok, I have two copies of the same server (different names, same machine)

1. news.student.utwente.nl
2. studict.student.utwente.nl

Now I subscribe to a.b on the firtst server and to c.d on the second server.
(note, both groups are available on BOTH servers).

Now I compose a message (or reply to a message) that is directed to both groups.

Hit send. Mozilla says it can't send a message to two different servers, though
the groups themselves are available on both servers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-
Actual Results:  
-

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should check if the groups are AVAILABLE on the server the message is
directed to. If they are, the message should be sent. It should not matter if
you are actually subscribed to those groups.

See bug 54911 and bug 80542.  Dup of the former.

err..wait, this is our cross-posting bug, my bad.

This really is a DUP of 35338.  Reopening to dup again.
