Body:
I think we've hit the same problem, some ethereal debugging yields some info that might be helpful to somebody (sorry, no resources here to help out):
<pasting>
The NNTP protocol appears to use the sequence \r\n.\r\n to signal end-of-message. Using ethereal, we've determined that for the problem messages, the server is neglecting the leading \r\n (thus the period appears to be part of the message, and the client waits for a terminating sequence that never comes).
</pasting>
In our case, all the problem messages have come from Thunderbird 0.7.2 and 0.7.3

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JAMES-311
Summary: Nntp very picky with clients
Type: Bug
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Major
Project: James
Components:
NNTPServer & Repository
Versions:
2.2.0
Assignee:
Reporter: Rodney Crossman
Created: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 9:15 PM
Updated: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 2:01 PM
Environment: Tested on Windows xp Pro and Netware 6.5SP@ with Java 1.4.2_04
Description:
Cannot read messages posted by some NNTP clients.
For example, if a message is posted with Mozilla Firefox .72 or Groupwise client 6.5 and someone tries to read them, the client just hands and times out. Messages posted with Outlook express work perfectly fine.
This is only an issue if there is a message body. If the message consist of only the subject, then it doesn't seem to cause any problems.
