I'm using news.eternal-september.org for my Usenet news feed using
MT-Newswatcher. Why does Opera have any knowledge of this to flag the security
certificate? I'm not browsing Eternal-September.

Is Opera flagging <news.eternal-september.org> or
<http://www.eternal-september.org/>?

By my rough guesstimate it shouldn't be doing this if you're accessing
usenet over the standard usenet port 119.

Perhaps asking in the support groups for E-S would get an informed
response, the maintainers of E-S are very helpful in those NGs. In
particular <eternal-september.support>
