[Qt-interest] How to post through the NNTP interface

[Rui Maciel]

After having some problems posting to Qt's mailing list through Nokia's NNTP 
interface, and after noticing that not only this problem affects a 
considerable number of people but also there is a serious lack on 
information on how to solve this problem, here's a small tutorial on how to 
configure an Usenet client to follow Qt's mailing lists:

1) in a usenet client, add Nokia's Usenet server

The server is[1]: 

nntp.qt.nokia.com

2) register an account in the following page:

http://qt.nokia.com/newsapply

3) check your email address and confirm your account registration
4) configure your usenet client to authenticate the connections to Nokia's 
NNTP server, using your account information.

5) that's it.


It would be great if Nokia provided all this information in a easy-to-access 
manner.  This experience has been too frustrating, and by the looks of it it 
affects too many users.


Hope this helps,
Rui Maciel
