let's check port 119 on nntp.aioe.org:

  guckes@kudu:~> telnet nntp.aioe.org 119
  Trying 46.165.242.75...
  Connected to nntp.aioe.org.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  200 nntp.aioe.org InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.6.1 ready (posting ok)
  QUIT
  205 Bye!
  Connection closed by foreign host.

checking port 563 on nntp.aioe.org:

  guckes@kudu:~> telnet nntp.aioe.org 563
  Trying 46.165.242.75...
  Connected to nntp.aioe.org.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  QUIT
  400 Encrypted TLS connection failed
  Connection closed by foreign host.

well, i am missing all those commands...
can anyone supply them for us so we can see
whether the server does serve on TLS?  thanks!
