I simply set up the minimum user & server information: http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/12853990/img/12853990.png Fetched the list of available groups for that server: http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/12853992/img/12853992.png And, then posted to the alt.test newsgroup: http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/12853993/img/12853993.png Unlike Thunderbird & Knode (which were nntp-horrid for different reasons) it was that easy (as it should be) on xpn to post using port 553 SSL native! Thanks! SUMMARY: Linux native SSL NNTP clients: a) xpn (worked on the first pass after a simple and intuitive NNTP setup)! b) Knode (problematic - didn't work on first pass & provided no error messages) c) Thunderbird (problematic - setup was not intuitive and didn't work for me) d) Pan 0.136 (problematic - requires compilation - which often fails for me)
