That won't help your situation, your web server needs to talk to a NNTP server on port 119 to send the news to it. pop3 to nntp is used to post news by email instead of vB.

If you can retrieve news but not post, that means the port is open. Does the news server accepts posts? or does the server accepts posts from your web server's IP range?

If you can ssh to your web server, just try to use one of the Unix news readers from the shell. eg. tin. You can even use lynx to read news. Check Google, I can't remember.
