Andrew doesn't use NNTP for newsgroups.
They use IMAP.  50% of the what you think you know about Pine from elsewhere 
doesn't apply in andrew-land.
To figure out how to post to a newsgroup in Andrew, I usually find it simplest 
to first figure out how to followup/reply to a newsgroup and then see what it 
does.  I think it's some magical e-mail address. (I have had to relearn it on 
each of the few occasions I bothered)
Alternatively, you may just find your life to be easier if you just use 
Mulberry or batimail.
