LIST command does not work on INN 2.3.3

[Brandon]

Here is a copy of my readers.conf... Im pretty sure what I have is correct
here.

auth "local" {
hosts: "64.83.0.0/17"
default: "@cavtel.net"
default-domain: "cavtel.net"
}

access "local" {
users: "@cavtel.net"
newsgroups: "*"
access: "Read Post"
}

You need to reexamine what default/default-domain do...your
configuration is not doing what you think it should. Try this:

auth "local" {
hosts: "64.83.0.0/17"
default: "cavtel"
}

access "local" {
users: "cavtel"
newsgroups: "*"
}

(The "access" parameter needs to be used only to give A or N
access; you get read/post access by default if you use
"newsgroups" anyway.)
