Have you registered at that site? This is required according to the
information there.
I have sparely visited Usenet lately, but I can remember having
successfully sent messages to newsgroups on the nntp server of my
provider. So, in the Send options of that nntp account there is smtp and
I put in the user name and password of that smtp server.
Have you tried other email clients like mozilla thunderbird and opera ?
 
Hope that helps.
