You can't send email via POP3; POP3 is for downloading mail only.

You need SMTP to send.

If you don't have a local smtpd (I guess that's the norm on Windows?),
then sending can set up with something like this in your .gnus:

  (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
        smtpmail-default-smtp-server "YOUR-SMTP-HOST")

and in your .authinfo.gpg you put something like:

  machine YOUR-SMTP-HOST login YOUR-SMTP-LOGIN password YOUR-SMTP-PASSWORD

I think that should do the trick?


  Best regards,

    Adam
