SeaMonkey doesn't fail silently when connecting to Eternal-September - you should be getting the following message: "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." unless you've imported the root ca. See: 1. <http://www.eternal-september.org/index.php?showpage=techinfo> see the "2014-04-13 00:00:00 New SSL certificates for HTTPS and NNTPS" info in the box. 2. <http://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/ImportRootCert?action=show&redirect=ImportRootCert> 3. <http://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/BrowserClients?action=show&redirect=BrowserClients> 4. <http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3> Once you've imported & accepted the cacert PKI key you should have no problem connecting to news.eternal-september.org s/ssl. Port : 563 (encrypted connection NNTPS) Port : 443 (encrypted connection NNTPS) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
