Every now and then instead of posting, Pan tells me

There were problems with this post.
Warning: Unknown group "sci.physics.research"

It seems to be group-specific. Some groups I read are unknown, others
exits. I find it puzzling -- it has no trouble reading from that usenet
group.

Which news server are you using? have you checked to make sure it is
still valid?

My ISP, magma.com, uses giganews.com to provide the usenet feed.

What does it mean, whether the server is still valid? I see recent news
appearing on it, day by day.

There does seem to be a server connection, though -- newgroups it provided
have this problem, whereas the newsgroups provided by gmane do not.

Sorry, that's what I meant. Sometimes, the newserver(s) seem to lose
one or two newsgroups for a period of time.

I do recall, on occasion pan would complain. I would remove the
newsgroup, then add it back.

My Pan has a list of all available newsgroups, mostly as a collapsed tree.
On startup, it uncollapses the subscribed newsgroups, and has the
unsubscriped ones collapsed.

By removing a group, do you mean unsubsribing? Or do you mean removing its
newsserver?

My apologies. English is my native language, so I use too much slang
at times.

I mean unsubscribe, close Pan, re-open Pan, and re-subscribe.
