Well I have the answer straight from tech support. Here it is:

---Start quote ----
Thank you for brining the difficulties you have been experiencing with our
newsgroup servers to our attention.
The problem you are experiencing is related to current Technical difficulties on
our mail server. Our network department is investigating and a solution to this
problem will be applied shortly.

---end quote--

Someone on the sympatico.highspeed ng told me they use the newservers as mail
servers when sympatico mail is having troubles.

Stovie, point your newsreader to sympatico.highspeed and sympatico.support
(there are french equivalents too) . That way you can pick up a few pointers on
when things are going wrong without having to call 310-smurf. Plus there are a
lot of pointers on getting things to work, like alternate DNS and news
addresses.
