I set NNTPSERVER in my autoexec.bat, with the line "SET
NNTPSERVER=news.wwa.com". AFAIK, there is no need to set the MAILER
and POSTER variables when using Souper95.

Try setting NNTPSERVER either in your autoexec.bat or somewhere in your
Souper95 BAT file, e.g. before running Souper95. Don't set the MAILER
variable. Then, see what happens.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You might want to try eliminating the "-m" and "-n" switches/options in
this line. I assume that the rest of the commands in the BAT file work
OK for you, right?
I hope this helps.
