Today, SeaMonkey let me send the three Usenet messages that have been hanging since yesterday, but when I wrote a fourth message, I was back to the "could not send message" message, so I looked around for a newsreader for the Mac, and SABnzbd seemed to have good reviews, so I downloaded and installed it.

When I try to use it, Firefox says it's suspicious and untrustworthy.

And I still can't send posts to Usenet.

Which version of Seamonkey do you have? Did the start of the problem coincide with any other change to your system or network?

(Long shot: does Seamonkey on the Mac have any kind of console/error logs?)

It's SeaMonkey 2.1.1. There were no changes I know of. The "apparently sent" problem (see earlier post) started gradually a while back. This one went from being occasional to intermittent to being the law of the land in recent weeks.

Looks like there is an error console on SeaMonkey. Right now the only error it's showing is the message I'm writing — "unterminated comment" — which I guess is because I haven't finished and sent it yet. The Warnings tab shows a ton of things, and they're all for the last ten minutes, and they all involve LJ.

I looked at the boards for SABnzbd, and it said that the message doesn't mean anything, so I shrugged and went ahead and activated it, but I don't see any way to select and read a newsgroup. Looks like a utility for downloading binaries and stuff. Back to square one.

I hope I'm misreading this page, but it does seem to imply that your MacOS version needs a version of SeaMonkey that's not out yet....
