    From super70s@super70s@super70s.invalid to comp.sys.mac.system on Tue Jul 22 17:08:01 2025
    From Newsgroup: comp.sys.mac.system

    On one of my newer systems I was suddenly having trouble getting eternal-september to refresh the messages the past couple of days.

    So I went to eternal-september.org and checked the settings. Turns out
    they're different from the settings I had for
    reader.eternal-september.org and news.eternal-september.org -- they
    have been changed.

    The correct server for reader.eternal-september.org is now reader80.eternal-september.org, port 80, no SSL.

    The correct server for news.eternal-september.org is still news.eternal-september.org, but port 110, no SSL.

    At least that's what works for me now. Maybe you should check your ES
    settings in case you run into trouble like I did.

    Strangely, on my older system and newsreader (MT NewsWatcher) both of
    those servers work normally, without making any of the above changes.
    Which are reader.eternal-september.org, port 119 and news.eternal-september.org, port 119.

    Go figure.

    Port 110 isn't liked by Unison. Leaving the port number blank defaults
    to 119 which works fine.

    That was a mistype, I'm using 119 for news.eternal-september.org.

    Use Port 563 with SSL/TLS. To use Thunderbird instead of Unsion could
    also help.

    I'm running Mojave on a 2014 iMac14,4. Unison does fine on it unless
    it's some kind of settings problem like described above. I hear people
    saying it crashes a lot but it rarely does for me.

    Yep, Unison very rarely crashes for me either (High Sierra).

    I don't look at Usenet much anymore, but I recently opened Usenet (via
    Unison and Eternal September) and found out that it wasn't connecting.
    I couldn't read any posts, and I didn't have any new posts added for
    two or three weeks. I had Unison set for
    news.eternal-september.org/port 563 with SSL. I looked at the ES
    website for alternate settings, tried two other configurations and got news.eternal-september.org to work with port 119 and no SSL.
