Since maybe a week, the SSL port of the news server seems to be outdated. Last postings I see are from Wed 27 Oct 1999.

Same thing is probably also occuring to snews://secnews.netscape.com

Any progress? Somebody on the newsgroups said, it were a sync problem, dunno, if that's true.

According to mbaur@netscape.com (contact for this news server) all should be up and running. There has been some networking issue connecting to this host though.

I don't understand, what you mean with "some networking issue connecting to this host". I can access snews.mozilla.org via SSL, but no new posts.

There have been no new messages to snews://secnews.netscape.com for sometime. Connecting to snews://secnews.netscape.com is fine.

Ok, I can see it now. What I meant is that there seems to be time to time networking problems and news.mozilla.org has been unreachable from some sites - but yours is different case. Btw, regular NNTP site news.mozilla.org is fine.

> Btw, regular NNTP site news.mozilla.org is fine. Unfortunately, this doesn't help me, because I have no access to it through my firewall.

The communication between both server instances is still broken. This is a CERT issue I haven't been able to resolve yet. I only get a numeric error code I can't interpret.

a workaround for this is to read news via http://www.deja.com/

Works at least for n.p.m.mail-news. I posted to snews://news.mozilla.org and the msg was forwarded to the mailing list and my local ISP news server.

Thanks
