OT usenet readers

In trying out a new reader (Agent, free version) there seems to be a bit of a problem getting messages posted.

Anyone here use this reader and can shed some (light) advice?

First, do you have the free version? or did you purchase the license?

In trying to respond to a post, everything seems normal and the message appears to be sent, though nothing showed up online (messages are present in Outbox).

Email worked just fine when sent to myself.

I have been using the free version for years... Look in your outbox and see if your posts have a little smileyface... The Smileyface means your message was sent successfully.

My posts appear in the newsgroup almost instantly, but I don't know if that is the case everywhere. Check your options and preferences and get them the way you want.

Agent has been a wonderful program for me.

He has the full purchased Agent but not the most recent version.

When you open the outbox to you see a yellow smiley next to the posted message? A red frown?

bought it....

Make sure you are hiting send now (not send later) Make sure your SMTP server is set corrrectly, (under options, user/system profile, system tab) though It should be if your email portion works. Also check under options, posting preverances and make sure that everything looks ok in there....

some servers don't relay messages to the group right away. wait a day or so before knowing that your message didn't make it...

all yellow smiley faces, but the posts were not appearing online. This one was sent using agent, so it's working now, though I'm not sure why. Thanx for the help.
