Subject: Setting gnus-check-new-newsgroups to nil --> gnus-secondary-select-methods ignored
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:51:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fwzwfi5l.fsf@topper.koldfront.dk> (raw)
If you, as I do, set gnus-check-new-newsgroups to nil, then Gnus will
happily ignore any configuration you have added to servers in
gnus-secondary-select-methods.
So putting this in your Gnus:
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil)
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nntp "news.gmane.org"
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-tls-stream)
(nntp-port-number 563)
(nntp-address "snews.gmane.org"))
))
will make Gnus connect to news.gmane.org on port 119(!)
If you let gnus-check-new-newsgroups have its default value, then the
configuration in gnus-secondary-select-methods is used, and in the above
case the connection will be encrypted on port 563 to snews.gmane.org.
I am guessing that what happens when gnus-check-new-newsgroups isn't
nil, is that somehow the gnus-server-method-cache is initialized
"correctly", while it otherwise gets initialized "wrong", mistaking
secondary-select-method servers for foreign servers.
Do I make any sense at all?
Best regards,
Adam
