nntp select method syntax

nntp select method syntax

[Kevin Shell]

Hello list.

What should be used for the second element of nntp select method?
If I use (nntp "NAME" '((nntp-address "SERVER.DOMAIN.TLD"))),
Gnus can't connect,
if I use (nntp "SERVER.DOMAIN.TLD" ...),
Gnus can connect with no problem.

nnimap can use both name and domain with second element.

You got the syntax wrong. Try removing '( ), i.e.:

  (nntp "NAME" (nntp-address "SERVER.DOMAIN.TLD"))

For example, one of my secondary select methods looks like this:

  (nntp "fb"
        (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-tls-stream)
        (nntp-port-number 563)
        (nntp-address "feedbase.org"))


  Best regards,

    Adam

Fixed it.
:-) Thanks.
Don't discover the nntp variables are in multiple lists.

I don't know Emacs lisp, but following works fine with me.

#+BEGIN_SRC: emacs lisp (~/.gnus)
;;; ^Gmane_^))//
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.io"))

;;; Quimby -- Gnus Towers
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nntp "quimby"
	      (nntp-address "quimby.gnus.org"))))

;;; This was the Usenet.
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
	     '(nntp "september"
		    (nntp-address "news.eternal-september.org")))
#+END_SRC
