imap_open and NNTP

I'm trying to use imap_open to get news from a server that requires a
user name and password.

I'm using

$nntp = imap_open("{".$newsserver."/nntp:".$port."}".$newsgroup,
$newsuser, $newspass, OP_ANONYMOUS);

and it's failing to connect.

The PHP docs show using user/password with email but not nntp.

Am I trying to use imap_open to do something it's not able to?

Try:

$nntp = imap_open ("{".$newsserver.":$port/nntp"."}".$newsgroup, $newsuser,
$newspass);

That's fixed it. I would never have seen that since it worked without
authentication.

Thank you very much.
