The server responds with: 200 hostname.elided.com InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.3.2 ready (posting ok). upon connection and after mode reader, and never gives a 480 response. It does however respond with: 215 Newsgroups in form "group high low flags". . to a list command. I tried this in ~/.authinfo: machine hostname.elided.com login ME password PASSWD force but it was ignored, AFAICT. So how do I force gnus to authenticate even when it thinks it doesn't need to? Or is it just a bug in v5.9.0? -JimC
