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 -- "My internal clock is on Tokyo time." Adam Sjøgren asjo@koldfront.dk
