Hello Jeff,
Not done this in binary, but manually telnetting to nntp works ok,
so possible that you are using a CR-LF or LF only and need to do opposite.
Only other suggestion is to check what is being received by the server
either by tcpdump (can that do it?) or by writing a small bit of code
to create a server socket and dumping what it is receiving.
Hope you fix it soon,
Cheers

Hopefully some of you have done this.

Anyway, I am writting a nntp binary grabber basically. I got the socket
stuff working, but I can never give it more than one command, or the
second one fails. For Example:

I open the nntp server, received the welcome message. Then I send list.
Giving me ALL the groups.. Got the . and got out of my while loop. Send
the QUIT command.. And I receive, bad command from the NNTP server.. No
matter what command I give it, the second command fails!

I did a select after the first to see if maybe something was in the
buffer. No. The select comes back as a timeout.. So nothing is in
there... What am I missing??

I am writing this in c++ if that matters.

Thanks..
BTW, I can post code if needed, let me know what you wanna see, wasn't
sure what to post.

Jeff
