Well, I don't know about Talmudic authority on this, but there are two
problems here:

1) you can't have a newsgroup name that starts with a number

2) you can't have a newsgroup name with upper-case in it

#1 is a news software restriction (not NNTP); 
I think #2 is also (but I've been wrong before!).

So call it 'rpi.x.att3b2' or something.

Shalom,
