    From Zazz@VERT/PBSYNC to All on Saturday, May 30, 2015 15:03:03
    Setting up newslink. I have nntp setup on port 120 so in my newsling.cfg
    I have included a line

    PORT 120

    Also I have
    USER myid
    PASS mypass

    Is this correct?

    The syntax looks correct. But when you say you "have nntp setup on port 120", what does that mean? NewsLink is for making outbound connections to a 3rd party
    news server. 3rd party news servers would normally be expected to be listening on TCP port 119.
