IdNNTP - 500 Error from Server

Subject:IdNNTP - 500 Error from Server

Hi,

I'm using an IdNNTP (v10.1.5 / 6/22/06 snapshot) component in Delphi 7 to
test out posting with Giganews (popular pay news service).  Everything is
great except when I call IdNNTP.Disconnect and an error pops-up saying "500
syntax error or unknown command".

I ran a sniffer and got this:

From Server: 240 post accepted.
From Client: Quit
From Server: 500 syntax error or unknown command
From Server: 205 goodbye

When I try IdNNTP.Disconnect(False) there is no error but that might cause
ghost connections.

Should I just wrap a try...except around Disconnect or is there another
solution?

Thanks for your help in advance!
