Do you know if the OP do subscribe to c.d.m? You at least cross post and in worst case you may set followup-to, but then you tell that, for you still loose major input as people may not always subscribe to the followup-to newsgroup.

No password, add -p to the command line.

Unless the password in the configuration file is encrypted, it do not add any security over using -p (without supplying the password) in the command line, the only way to get hold of the password would be a keylogger when you use -p (without supplying the password).
