Greg, the bug you report is not a problem in later releases of NNTP.
1.4 and 1.5 both have a macro SERVER_FILE, which is a string constant,
the name of a file wherein the name of the host intended to be the
server is held.  There are comments to the effect that this alleviates
the need for compiled-in server names.  SERVER_HOST is no more.

We've been using 1.5 for about 2 weeks.  It seems very stable and
reliable.
