Huh ?

Everybody can delete/cancel his own messages (using a
newsreader).
Please move to the .test group. I posted a message titled "Can I
delete this?". Then I deleted it and I don't see it anymore. But
can you still read it? Just wondering, I'm not sure I really
deleted it from the server (I'm almost sure I did not).
Steve.

If the original post has contents:
Can I delete this?
Steve.
then it is still there.
As liz confirmed deleting is quite possible for own messages.
Maybe you have to use a real newsreader instead of OE ? <g>

Maybe... but we're still doing some tests. Would you kindly post
and then delete a message in the .test group?
Steve.

If I understood correctly, that's what I'm trying to explain.
They don't see the posts in _their_ newsreader, but they're
still on the server.

That is what I thought. I've done it before, only haven't seen the results
because OE kept the message after it was cancelled.

That is Google's cache.
See here where my message is no more there:

or

Yep.
Canceling a post doesn't help much if the sensitive data has already
escaped into the wild.

Nope. They're right instead. See .test group.

Wild Google. How to empty it's cache ? ;-).

As Jeff Overcash (TeamB) in borland.public.test stated you can only
delete your own message if post and cancel come from the same IP.
So you need a fixed IP address or post a cancel message in the
same dialup session.
Apparently the newsserver checks those IP's.

Nevermind. I went with Indy9 instead. Installed perfectly.
