From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001024 BuildID: Gecko/20001024 Replying to netscape.public.mozilla.general does not work. Other newsgroups in the same server work ok. I get an error: "NEWS ERROR: An authorization error occurred. Please try entering your name and/or password again. Could not get your access name. Goodbye." Posting new messages works ok. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: Expected Results:
I now know at least something what is going on. I have two ISPs, Saunalahti and NIC. When using Saunalahti, replying to newsgroups works ok always. When using NIC, replying to newsgroups does not usually work, except to this newsgroup, for example. Still posting new messages works always. This does not make much sense, except that I have two mail accounts, one for fuerte@sci.fi (Saunalahti) and the other for fuerte@nic.fi (NIC). My outgoing SMTP server is smtp.nic.fi. Still I always use the e-mail address fuerte@sci.fi when posting messages. It seems that when I reply to newsgroup, Mozilla contacts the mail server for some reason (smtp.nic.fi?) and checks if the fuerte@sci.fi is a valid e-mail address. Could it be? This does not make any sense... especially when posting new messages works always. I tried changing the e-mail address to fuerte@nic.fi, but it didn't help. But definitely it has something to do with the mail servers, because when I use Saunalahti, replying to newsgroups works. Now somebody developing Mozilla should check if Mozilla is contacting *e-mail* server (outgoing or incoming) when posting to newsgroups. It would explain the error message: "NEWS ERROR: An authorization error occurred. Please try entering your name and/or password again. Could not get your access name. Goodbye."
I used TDIMon (http://www.sysinternals.com/) to resolve this bug. I noticed than when I post a new message to netscape.public.mozilla.general, then it contacts only secnews.netscape.com (198.95.249.40). But when I reply to a message, then it contacts news.sci.fi (195.197.54.114). This must be a bug. I have attached the TDIMon logs. The first one is the post, the second one is the reply. 1 0.00000000 Mozilla 26000025 TDI_SEND TCP:127.0.0.1:1027 127.0.0.1:1028 SUCCESS-5 Length:1 2 0.00011120 Mozilla E1BD5760

Still I can't understand why replying to netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news works OK.
Harri, do you still see this issue? Moving to Networking - News...

It started working after I removed news.sci.fi account (a couple of weeks ago).

But if nothing was done, then the bug is still there: Replying to newsgroups sends the message to incorrect server, if it finds the newsgroup name from a different account.
OK, I'll reopen and mark a dependency on bug 54911 as I believe (and based on the last comment in that bug, so do you) that they are related...

I read over 54911, and it seems that it covers this bug entirely, especially since it also mentions multiple servers, and the problem you encounter with regards to having messages sent to the wrong server. Anyone agree?
