Package: slrn Version: 1.0.3+dfsg-4 Severity: important User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu groovy
Dear Maintainer, It is not possible to connect to a secure news server. The following command fails: NNTPSERVER=snews://secure-us.news.easynews.com:8000 slrn --create ... Connecting to host secure-us.news.easynews.com ... Failed to initialize server Run-Time Error Reason: slrn fatal error: Failed to initialize server. The servers for easynews listen on mutliple ports (https://help.easynews.com/kb/article/11-nntp-server-addresses/) but it is not possible to connect to any of the SSL setups. However, using NNTP=news.easynews.com:8000 works without error. Switching the NNTPSERVER to snews://news.newshosting.com:563 results in the same failure.
