Thanks but already tried - doesn't work, same error message.

BTW I see the same result as mentioned in the old thread:

,----
| (gnus-post-method 1 "nntp+foreign.host:foreign.group") 
`----

gives the primary server but

,----
| (gnus-post-method nil "nntp+foreign.host:foreign.group") 
`----

gives the foreign server. So I guess the solution of my problem is
hidden somewhere in the old thread. But where?
 
Could be a misconfiguration by me but I don't know where to start to
look.
