I have the following setting in my gnus init file (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '( (nnimap "UCMgmail" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo") (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnir-search-engine imap)) (nnimap "gmail" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo") (nnimap-stream ssl)) (nntp "news.gmane.org"))) However, whenever I call gnus, I obtain an error (setq debug-on-signal t) which I attach. I also receive Warning: Unable to open server nntp+news.gmane.org due to: Opening input file: "No data" in the server buffer I see: {nntp:news.gmane.org} (denied) I can open the server and return to the group buffer gnus-group-get-new-news Everything is fine. The whole issue is very annoying, what can I do ??
