Well, I'm using www.teranews.com

They have a free 50MB/day account that has something like a 3$ one-time setup fee...

I was able to successfully post to the free account using a newsreader... using the same settings with the vB hack, I am able to download all the posts from the group, and that is working flawlessly. I added the gateway.php to the includes/crons folder, and set it up as an hourly scheduled task in vB. When I run it manually either by calling the page directly, or using the "run now" feature in the scheduled task manager, the posts are repordedly being posted, and after that, there is no way of knowing where it is lost.

I'm not experienced with connecting to third parties with PHP, although, I am decent at PHP code. I will look over the file in the next hour or so, and see if anything sticks out that might be causing the problem... I've looked over the send_post function a few times already, and I didn't see anything there that was wrong... maybe something with the way headers are being read or sent??? That's where I'm lost, because I'm not experienced with the protocols used to connect to the NNTP server & post.

:S

I'll Post the contents of my gateway.php file after I've looked it over and made it a little more readable.
