Message 116382 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

It should be noted that there are two possibilities for encrypted NNTP:

• NNTPS, that is NNTP-over-SSL on port 563, as proposed here
• plain NNTP with the STARTTLS capability as described in RFC 4642

For the record, gmane provides the former (on snews.gmane.org:563) but not the latter.
