 i use several newsreaders, 40tude dialog for downloading and archiving,
free agent for queue organization and posting, xananews for stats, etc.
 

Fine. I do that too: Gravity, Xnews and Dialog, but I would prefer to use Thunderbird/Betterbird.
That is not the question here.
I like the server Paganini and have been using it regularly for a while with setting SSL/TLS Port 563.
It stopped working today, which was my original post.
However, I went back and 'undid' SSL/TLS and the port went to 119 and lo-and-behold, down came the posts.
Should I leave it there or do I gain anything by using SSL?
I can also use eternal-september, but it can be flaky although that is happy with SSL/TLS.
Confused.
