Yep no ssl enabled posting clients that I know of, hopefully someone will make a new powepost build with SSL :)

Registered just to share this info I found after searching for a while myself. In short.. use stunnel

For the sake of archival, here's what you do.

http://www.stunnel.org/downloads/binaries.html]Download stunnel for windows (
[COLOR=Black]go to menu and install service
go to menu and edit stunnel.conf
uncomment (remove ";" ) the 'cleint = yes'
comment (add ";" ) to all the listed servicesWith all that done add a new service section:

[nntp]
accept = 119
connect = news.YourSSLNewsHost.com:563

choose "start service" option in menu and stunnel should be set. Now just edit the address in your news client to use 127.0.0.1 and voila you have ssl connections from any news server. This worked for powerpost and it works with xnews.
