Make sure your firewall has port 119 open for your newsreader and

It would be an unusual firewall indeed that could distinguish
between read and write access to a newsserver.

Firewalls distinguish between incoming and outgoing traffic. In
this case, the outgoing traffic is a post.

No, the outgoing traffic is *anything* the client has to say to the
server; this includes requests from the client to post a message, but
also requests from the client to have the server send posts or other
information.
