Perhaps I can help on a couple of points
        1. If you are not using the pop3 version of NOS for your mail this
could be the problem with not being able to receive mail. SMTP is fine for
sending mail but not for receiving mail. the pop3 version of NOS is available
on the demon site. To use the pop3 facilities does require a different set up
of the STARTUP.NOS file

        2. I suggest you edit the date in your NNTP.DAT file to a couple of
days before the date of your next attempt to collect news. the number of news
items from comp.sys.atari.st is between 10 and 50 per day

Hope this helps
