plusnet news server

[Andy Burns]

Seems to be demanding [non-existent] authentication again ... presumably
doing it for other PN customers?

Just use Eternal-September instead?

Oh, I have various servers available, mainly I use individual.net, but
e.g. only the Plusnet server carries the plusnet local groups ...

I would do, but I couldn't get it to authenticate when I set up Thunderbird
on my Win10 laptop, although I'm using the same details as for Windows Live
Mail on my older Win 7 PC, so TB needs to use the Plusnet news server.

Hopefully PN will fix their server again, as they seem to have to do every
six months or so. It would be nice if it *stayed* fixed...

Eh? I'm using Thunderbird to post this via E-S. Is it the receiving of
posts, the sending of them, or both, that is a problem for you with E-S?

You have to enable "Always authenticate" in the account's settings.

Yes, it's doing that for me too, for about the last 24hrs.
