nntps doesn't work

I can't make nntps work, setting TRUE in TLS line of config.xml just causes
James not to start at all..

Could you try to see if POPS or Secure SMTP works.
The problem may be the that you don't have the right connection handler.

You can try to connect to the secure NNTPS Server on news.kodemuse.com. It
is based on James and works with at least Outlook Express.

Well, I don't know what I did differently this time, but plain nntp on
James works fine (with Netscape Messenger as client)
Will try nntps and auth when I get a chance.

Another reason for failure could be the NNTP Client. Different clients may
follow different NNTP drafts. I have tested with outlook express, and so has
Danny. Outlook express does seem to be able to use NNTP in some form. Peter
Donald mentioned that Pine does not work. I guess it is a issue of trying
different clients and troubleshooting.

Erm on my Linux box, with James running as root (bad I know) I used the
default settings and it worked Ok.

I did notice that it creates its nntp directories in /var/ not relative to
the James distro, therefore permissions might just
make it unworkable if it can't write to /var/

When I had a quick look, I couldn't get nntp to work let alone nntps.
Do you fancy writing a quick howto on the nntp server?
