XFOR: NNTP Cannot Post to a Restricted Newsgroup (283862)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000
This article was previously published under Q283862 SYMPTOMS
When you are using Outlook Express, and you attempt to connect to a Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) newsgroup that is restricted to specific users, if you are one of the specified users, you may receive the following error message:
Outlook Express could not post your message.
Subject Test message, Account: Servername, Server: 'NNTPSRV', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '441 (620) Article Rejected -- Insertion into group (null) of article (null) failed.', Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9
CAUSE
This issue can occur if the NNTP administrator attempted to restrict permissions for an NNTP newsgroup by granting Full control folder and file security permissions for the newsgroup folder, but the did not grant the System group permissions to the newsgroup file folder.
RESOLUTION
When you grant the specified user rights to the newsgroup file folder, the System group is required to have explicit access as well. For example, if the user that is specified is Test1, the minimum explicit permissions on the folder should be: User1:
- Read and execute
- List folder contents
- Read
- Write
System: - Read and execute
- List folder contents
- Read
- Write
