The current draft (draft-ietf-nntpext-imp-03.txt) lists the following
responses for MODE STREAM:
1.2.1. Responses
203 Streaming is OK
500 Command not understood
I propose a third response be added to the list:
400 not accepting articles
This is reasonable response, for example, when the server disk is full.
CHECK and TAKETHIS current permit a 400 response. By including the response
to MODE STREAM, the peer could detect such a situation before having sent
out a blizzard of CHECKs or TAKETHISs.
