I would need some help in getting the NNTP provider to connect to a news server which requires SSL connection. I wrote the followingProperties props = new Properties(); props.put("mail.nntp.host", "<news server>:563"); props.put("mail.nntp.user", "<id>@<news server>"); Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props); session.setDebug(true); URLName url = new URLName("nntp://<news server>:563"); Store store = session.getStore(url); I'm using JDK1.4(which presumely comes with SSL support).
The NNTP provider doesn't support SSL, nor does the NNTP specification provide for SSL as a transport layer. It would be trivial to rewrite the NNTP provider to use SSL, however: see the code that instantiates secure sockets in the IMAP and POP3 providers, for instance.
