Quote: I was wondering what might be wrong with the below code, it runs fine but there's no message being posted onto the server Is there an exception being thrown? If not, then the message is guaranteed to be posted. Quote: is there a was I can get information back from the Post() method to inform me if it was successful or failed? If no exception is thrown, then it was successful. Quote: the OnStatus even tells me "Encoding Text" and then that's it, my thread exits. Then an exception is likely being thrown that you are not catching. You should be wrapping your code in try..catch blocks, ie: IdNNTP2->Username = "********"; IdNNTP2->Password = "********"; IdNNTP2->Host = "my-news-server.com"; IdNNTP2->Port = 119; try { TIdMessage* msg = new TIdMessage(NULL); try { msg->ReplyTo->EMailAddresses = "Test (AT) test (DOT) co.uk"; msg->From->Address = "Test (AT) test (DOT) co.uk"; msg->Body->Text = "Testing Text Post"; msg->Subject = "Testing Text Post"; IdNNTP2->Connect(); try { IdNNTP2->SelectGroup("0.test"); IdNNTP2->Post(msg); } __finally { IdNNTP2->Disconnect(); } } __finally { delete msg; } } catch(const Exception &) { // error posting the message, do something } Gambit Back to top MwnN Guest Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 3:15 am    Post subject: Re: Indys NNTP Posting problem "Remy Lebeau (TeamB)" wrote in message news:45ec673b (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

I needed to call msg->NewsGroups->Add("borland.public.test"); first inorder for it to post on the newsgroups.borland.com server, however, when logging into my nntp server with a username/password to news-europe.giganews.com the exception never happened and nothing was posted, calling the line above to add the group fist worked on my news server too which enabled posting, any ideas as to why the group is needed, this could make things messy if the group is removed form the server, having to redownload the full list again to verify groups, but at least the exception was thrown on both news servers that no such group existed. Thanks again Gambit!

Quote: I was using a try catch block in my code but nothing came up Then no error was occuring. The message was successfully being delivered to the server. Maybe you simply were not refreshing your reader? Quote: I needed to call msg->NewsGroups->Add("borland.public.test"); first inorder for it to post on the newsgroups.borland.com server That makes sense. Even though the server knows the specific newsgroup the client is posting to, the message itself still has to specify the newsgroup(s) as well. Quote: any ideas as to why the group is needed Because NNTP servers require it. Quote: this could make things messy if the group is removed form the server, having to redownload the full list again to verify groups No, it does not. You know the group you are posting to, so simply ensure that the group exists in the message header before posting it. You don't have to verify anything on the server. And if the group disappears from the server, its messages disappear with it anyway.

Does Indy handle this automatically, or do you need to add code like :- Set NNTP Message Header section References to References plus Message-ID of what you're repying to? -- Mark Jacobs DK Computing http://www.dkcomputing.co.uk Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 11:54 pm    Post subject: Re: Indys NNTP Posting problem "Mark Jacobs" <http://www.jacobsm.com/mjmsg.htm?BorlandNG> wrote in message news:45eec52d (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com... Quote: Nothing seems to be maintaining the "References" value in the news message header. That is not Indy's responsibilty to manage. You have to do that in your own code, since only you know which messages you are posting replies to. Quote: Does Indy handle this automatically No. Quote: or do you need to add code like :- Yes.
