MORE INFORMATION

This event may occur if a user is connected to the Exchange Server NNTP host as an anonymous user, and attempts to post to a newsgroup root folder, or one of its subfolders, when an anonymous user does not have the appropriate rights for the folder.

To allow clients to post anonymously to Exchange Server public folders using NNTP, the following steps must be taken:

1. In the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program, confirm that anonymous access has been enabled at the site level by selecting the Protocol container.
2. On the File menu, select "NNTP (News) Site Defaults," then select Properties.
3. On the Anonymous tab, select the "Allow anonymous access" check box, and click OK.
4. Then check that the anonymous user category has been granted the appropriate permissions. In the Exchange Server Administrator program, select the newsgroup folder in question, and on the File menu, click Properties.
5. Click the General tab, and then click Client Permissions.
6. In the list of users and permissions, ensure that the anonymous user category has the correct permissions. Confirm that the default role, "Nonediting Author," is set for anonymous users.

NOTE: The permission "Nonediting Author" for the anonymous user category should also be assigned for the subfolders under the Internet Newsgroup root folder so anonymous users can post to them as well.
