Vista Tutorial - Need HELP with REJECTED newsgroup POSTS - Error Message 441 Posting Failed (Rejected by POST filter)

I am posting for my wife who is unable to post anything to any newsgroup from her Windows Vista Home Premium PC. She is using Windows Mail. Below is the
error message she continues to receive.

Windows Mail could not post your message. Subject 'testing', Account:
'newsgroups.bellsouth.net', Server: 'newsgroups.bellsouth.net', Protocol:
NNTP, Server Response: '441 Posting Failed (Rejected by POST filter)', Port:
119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9

When she contacts Bellsouth support rarely does anyone there even know what a newsgroup is.

Any and all help is much appreciated. She will be monitoring this newsgroup for your words of enlightenment!!!


Thank you,
Charlie

Did she follow this:

She might have missed checking: "My news server requires me to log on"

Lincoln actually got it right but was way ahead of his time when he said,
"You can have some of you computer working all of the time and all of your
computer working some of the time but..." It was he that said that, wasn't
it?

This describes setting up OE, but WM is the same.
Pay attention to No6 slide.

You're welcome. This is a real obscure error that does not come up
very often.

work for me. I can download and read the newsgroups no problem, but I
get the same error code the OP does when trying to reply using WM.
Vista, Windows Mail, Firefox for a browser if that matters. Google
Groups are okay, but not ideal.

Thank you for any ideas anyone may have,

Carmen again, just seeing if I can send posts to the microsoft groups using
the same setting that don't work for the alt groups.
