Newsgruppen der Hierarchie sfnet

2023-02-03 12:18:29 microsoft.* hierarchy removed

More than 10 years after Microsoft shut down their news groups (microsoft.*) and the Usenet News server, the hierarchy has been removed from Eternal-September.

2017-09-05 09:38:05 Server news.eternal-september.org replaced

The old reader server news.eternal-september.org had to be replaced by new hardware just before the scheduled replacement date. The new server is up and running, DNS changes are underway. The new server is called reader.eternal-september.org, but will also be available under the usual name as soon as the DNS changes have fully propagated. Currently, connections on port 80 and 443 are not available yet. These will be available again soon. The new server has an SSL certificate for both reader.eternal-september.org and news.eternal-september.org. UUCP connectivity is currently not available, but will be re-established tomorrow.

2011-09-03 08:09:42 AT&T mail addresses banned

As AT&T's fancy blacklist rejects mails from Eternal-September.org (again), the following mail domains can not be used for registration as we will not be able to send you your access data:

att.net
ameritech.net
bellsouth.net
pacbell.net
prodigy.net

If you previously tried to register and did not receive your registration mail, please note that is due to your mail provider's policy. Thank you for your understanding.

2011-05-26 04:59:03 Server names

Due to recent incidents, please note that you should only use "news.eternal-september.org" as the server name in your client configuration. IP addresses and other server names may change any time without prior notice and hence become unavailable for usenet access. Exceptions are "reader80.eternal-september.org" for access on port 80 (NNTP), "reader443.eternal-september.org" for access on port 443 (NNTP/SSL), and "uucp.eternal-september.org" for UUCP access on port 540.

2010-04-02 18:56:02 UUCP service moved to uucp.eternal-september.org

As the domain motzarella.org is not resolved by DNS servers anymore, UUCP users were cut off on March 23, 2010 without prior notice. The UUCP service has now been re-established with the new system name of uucp.eternal-september.org. Subscribers are kindly requested to adjust their configuration accordingly. Client system names, login data and and newsgroup subscriptions continue to be valid.
