problem posting through aioe and teranews

This is more of a question about outlook express than about
newsservers, probably, but here goes.

I've been using outlook express as my newsreader for some time.
Just today, when trying to post, I started getting an error message
like this:

Outlook Express could not post your message Subject 'Re: power
supply
explanation'. Account 'nntp.aioe.org' Protocol: NNTP. Server
Response: '441 Nonexistent group'. Port 119 Secure (SSL): No Server
Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9

I get a similar error message when trying to post through teranews.

I get online only through public wifi hotspots. I don't have a
service provider at home or at work, and I use aioe and teranews.

I doubt if aioe and teranews have both disappeared simultaneously,
although anything's possible.

If this is just a glitch in outlook express, can someone
suggest how I should fix it?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To what group do you want to post to?

When I got that particular error message I was trying to post to
sci.electronics.basics
but I've also tried with several other groups and OE always gives me
that error message.
I know those groups exist. People are still posting on them, so it
must be an OE glitch.

you're trying to post a message in a group that doesn't exist on the server

Not exactly. The news group clearly exists. But, it is not carried by aioe
in this case. The group has been censored. In other words, aioe is a free
censored newsgroup news server.
