Thanks... the sending still fails though, I'm not sure why from the trace output from *Messages*: Sending... Sending via mail... open-network-stream: make client process failed: connection refused, :name, SMTP, :buffer, *trace of SMTP session to smtp.newsguy.com*, :host, smtp.newsguy.com, :service, 8025 Telnet smtp.newsguy.com 8025 also fails. However some mail clients work with 8025 set in smtp.newsguy.com... like thunderbird. So I'm guessing its something else the server expects. How does the uid and paswd get passed? Does it need to be in the smtp code in ~/.gnus somehow too, or maybe ~/.authinfo. What would it look like in elisp?
