Hi, sorry for this.

It looks like some kind of routing error manifested between the 
machine the forum is currently running on, and some machines in 
the USA.

This seems to be affecting connections to the digitalmars.com 
NNTP server, as well as a spam checking service (StopForumSpam).

I've disabled the spam checker two days ago and got in contact 
with them to investigate this problem. To resolve the NNTP server 
issues, as of now all connections to it are currently routed 
through a proxy. Hopefully this should fix the posting problems 
for the moment.

Please feel free to post in this thread if you encounter any more 
errors while trying to use the forum.
