hi, we fight again some problems with the following error-message: "no overview.fmt for this server". Connecting to the news server works fine, but everytime we tried to do an "xover" this error- message appears. The news-server we connect is (like you told in your config) "brain dead" and does not understand the "list overview.fmt". We checked out the overview format of our news-feed - but it was exactly like that we configured as overviewFmtDef. We tried to connect to a DNEWS, as well as to the Microsoft News-Server - everytime the same problem. Our version of nntpcache is 1.0.1. Any hints?
