Here's my "nntp.conf" file from /etc/stunnel

compression     = zlib
foreground      = no
output          = /home/xxxxxxx/stunnel/log
pid             = /home/xxxxxxx/stunnel/pid
setuid          = xxxxxxx
setgid          = xxxxxxx
syslog          = no
client          = yes
[nntp]
accept          = 127.0.0.1:119
connect         = news.newshosting.com:563

I guess you need to change the "563" to "593"

Then, to make it run, I enter

> sudo stunnel /etc/stunnel/nntp.conf

You could put this in rc.local, without the sudo.

Then in .pan2/servers.xml I have 127.0.0.1 as the newsserver host and 
119 as the port.

Hope this helps
