It is initially set to: (("muchlearning\\.org" (:trustfiles)) ("news\\.gmane\\.org" nil) (".*" (:trustfiles :hostname))) i.e. it verifies all domains strictly except for a couple of domains that need to be more lax. However, after it's made a few connections, the value changes, and eventually becomes unusable for some domains. e.g. it may look like this: (("muchlearning\\.org" (:trustfiles)) ("news\\.gmane\\.org" nil (:trustfiles :hostname) (:trustfiles :hostname) . #2) (".*" (:trustfiles :hostname) . #1)) and it won't be able to connect to news.gmane.org any more. I'm currently using emacs 24.4 from Debian (package version 24.4+1-5, which is the current version from Debian stable). -- Hubert Chathi - Email/Jabber: hubert@uhoreg.ca - https://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 4096R/113A1368 (Key available at pool.sks-keyservers.net) Fingerprint: F24C F749 6C73 DDB8 DCB8 72DE B2DE 88D3 113A 1368
