My naive patch would be this: try: conn, first, last = open_newsgroup(mlist) except nntplib.NNTPError: continue except socket.error: break But if people have good reason to break on othernNTPErrors, we might want to do a more finegrained check. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=775100&group_id=103
