Description Dimitris Kolovos

Since a few minutes ago, when I try to post to the eclipse.epsilon newsgroup using Thunderbird I get an 436 error which according to http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/nntp/rfc0977.txt translates to "transfer failed - try again later". 

On a side note, I'm not sure if this is a problem of the particular newsgroup, or of the Eclipse NNTP server or if my Thunderbird has just freaked out. It would be really helpful in such occasions if there was a dummy newsgroup (e.g. eclipse.sandbox) where people could post test messages in order to figure out what is wrong.

Try eclipse.test

Looks like the nntp server had died.  I restarted it -- please try now.

I think we're good.
