I have this in my .gnus.el: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org" (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-tls-stream) (nntp-port-number 563) ;; (nntp-port-number 119) (nnir-search-engine gmane) )) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and that works now, but did not work for a while earlier in the month (or perhaps longer). IIUC what you said, port 119 with some other setting (nntp-open-network-stream perhaps, or nntp-open-plain-stream) for the connection function would have worked during this time? I'll have to remember that for next time... Thanks! -- Nick "There are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors." -Martin Fowler
