Hi, thanks for the tcpdump tip. It works now. It searched for news servers I didn't even have in messenger any more. The problem was that there were a few .newsrc-* files in my home directory. That's where netscape got the info from even when I had already deleted the news accounts in netscape. I deleted the (btw EMPTY, zero bytes) files and everything was fine. I would say that this is a really strange behavior of netscape.
