I'm having the same problem but in different situation!

Since my ISP didn't provide NNTP newsserver, so I use news.readfreenews.net to grab more NGs beside msnews.microsoft.com.
The problem is that, I can't sending NG post through news.readfreenews.net but fine with msnews.microsoft.com, very unfortunately microsoft didn't have the NG I'm refer to (alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim) but have this microsoft.public.simulator. Now forget about microsoft.

The situation is; I post 2 messages to alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim through news.readfreenews.net and I got these error:

*Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject 'Where can I get a freeware Bell 212 for FS9?', Account: 'News.readfreenews.net', Server: News.readfreenews.net', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '440 Posting Not Allowed.', Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 440, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9.

**Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject 'Flight Sim Community Projects', Account: 'News.readfreenews.net', Server: 'News.readfreenews.net', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '440 Posting Not Allowed.', Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 440, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9.

For Information:
* Post without attachment.
** Post with attachment (a HTML doc.)
     Both messages using HTML Format.

I don't have any technical knowledge about errors states on both marked red. It seem both are identical.
Anyone....please explain!. Any website I can refer, just to intense my thought. Thanks.
