Not sure I understand your reply...
Everybody who uses XanaNews (no matter what version) is now posting to
a Usenet newsgroup called "xananews.talk" using the NNTP server
"geldenhuys.co.uk".

And I don't understand that.

I see "nntp.aioe.org" when I look at Newsgroup in my XN tool-bar.
(???)

How can I "see" what you say I should be seeing?

Within XanaNews, go to Account -> Add New Account. Insert
"geldenhuys.co.uk" (w/o quotes) in the new account box and set things
up such that no password is required to access geldenhuys.co.uk.

Right-click on geldenhuys.co.uk and select Show Newsgroup List. You
should be able to see "xananews.talk".

Be sure that you are spelling the news server correctly:
geldenhuys.co.uk

Other than that, I don't know why you would get the socket error...

I see that up to March 2015 you were able to post using
geldenhuys.co.uk. So, something must have happened to your set up
after that date.

I am really not an expert in debugging these problems. The only other
suggestion that I have is to install the most recent version of
XanaNews, available here:

I deleted and RE-installed the geldenhuys.co.uk account and it came up
working! So I have NO clue what was wrong. But things are working OK
now. <g>

I was about to post... "glad you got it fixed", then I read the above
message. :)

I have no clue what is happening to your system, but it seem to be a
local issue on your side. I host a few newsgroups for 10+ years, and all
are active (regular new messages), messages don't expire (to build a
knowledge base), and nobody has complained about any socket errors.

Regards,
Graeme

No, you should be using geldenhuys.co.uk (i.e. without the "news" part).

Strangely you have posted to xananews.talk before using the same version
of XanaNews as you currently use. I changed nothing on my side, and
others can still post to my server. So it really does seem like a local
issue on your side, but I unfortunately have no idea what.

Regards,
Graeme

Yep.

I also don't know what's going on with my system.
