Allowing access *is* different to providing servers.


I thought your pseudonym was a joke, now I know it describes you exactly.

Plonk!

I have recently signed up to BT Broadband, however I cannot
access their news servers. Can anyone please tell me the
address for the BT news server?

Thanks very much.

BT Broadband is internet access only - no servers are provided.



Incorrect, BTB do allow access to usenet and to mail servers,
though it is not advertised and certainly not supported.

Try news.btopenworld.com or news.btinternet.com

also mail.btopenworld.com for SMTP and POP3

Contrary to popular belief, you may also run your own servers as
25,110,and 119 are *NOT* blocked.


"Allowing access" is different to "providing servers"


Just admit you were wrong rather than get pedantic to make a point.

But he's not as the service is being supplied by another supplier.

Thanks for the suggestions, luckily news.btopenworld.com works for me
(the btinternet one doesn't) however, I am not with btopenworld. My
headers all say i'm using btcentralplus.com or something. But hey,
btopenworld's news server works for me. I have not tried the mail server
because I am currently using my other pop server and btinternet's smtp
server

Thanks again.
