I did, and here's a summary.

(Mailbox does not exist)

Which leads me to believe, the news.nl.test box (which is what im 
posting to for testers) does not exist.

However when I check using cyradm:

localhost> lam news
anyone lrsp
localhost> lam news.nl
Mailbox does not exist
localhost> lam news.nl.test
anyone lrsp

would lead me to believe the mailbox does exist.

WFIW: I created the mailbox using the 'cm news.nl.test' command

My relevant imapd.conf entries:

partition-news: /var/spool/imap-news
newsprefix: news
newspostuser: usenet
newspeer: news.my-isp.net

Any insights ?

Thx,

Nils.
