getting stunnel to work with PAN and a worldnet news server

I am trying to use my worldnet usenet feed in linux using pan. Pan
doesnt support SSL which worldnet requires so I am running stunnel
3.22 which allows PAN to use SSL tranparently. I run stunnel using
the command line:

stunnel -c -d nntp -r inetnews.worldnet.att.net:563

stunnel seems to run and no complaints are logged.

I've tried running PAN over both port 119 and 563 but it doesnt seem
to be connecting to the NNTP server.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks a lot.
