SYMPTOMS
When you try to set up an NNTP pull feed from Netscape to Microsoft Exchange Server, you get the following error messages: On Netscape:

[99/01/11 17:04.52] innxmit:Unknown reply to "mode stream" -- 501 usage: mode reader

On Exchange Server:

Event ID 11106

MSExchangeNNTP

Warning

- An NNTP client connected from (IP Address) issued too many invalid commands. Dropping the connection.



CAUSE
Exchange Server 5.5 does not support the Mode Stream command but does support the Mode Reader command.



WORKAROUND
At this time, Exchange Server does not support the Mode Stream command. You can set up an NNTP push feed from Exchange Server to Netscape, which eliminates this problem.
