*Server* - starting denied?

*Server* - starting denied?

[Karl Eichwalder]

This is how my *Server* buffer looks now:

     {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
     {nntp:news.franken.de} (denied)
     {nndraft:} (opened)
     {nnml:} (opened)
     {nntp:tux.gnu.franken.de} (opened)

but Gnus always tries to start {nntp:news.franken.de} "opened" which
doesn't work for 95% of the time since I'm not online for most of the
time.

How is it possible to start a server "denied"?

(push '((nnslashdot "") denied) gnus-opened-servers)

Thanks!  Sounds good but I'm to stupid to make use of this hint,, I
tried:

    (push '((nntp "news.franken.de") denied) gnus-opened-servers)

Maybe, I've to add this form to a special hook?

No, I just have it in my .gnus.  Hm, I dunno.

There is `M-x gnus-server-deny-server', perhaps it works better?

Thanks for your insistence ;)  What I tried was too complicate; this
works like a charm:

(require 'gnus)
(push '((nntp "") denied) gnus-opened-servers)

I didn't try -- I'm happy with the non interactive setting!
