Hi,
I'm using pgnus 0.97 from NTemacs. Based on the NTEmacs FAQ at
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html I have set the
following in my .emacs to allow sending mail
(setq user-full-name "Tim Ayers")
(setq user-mail-address "tayers@bridge.com")
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server ".........")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain nil)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(load-library "smtpmail")
And this works great if I do C-x m (compose-mail)
The FAQ also says
If you are using GNUS to send mail, then you will also need:
(load-library "message")
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
which I have added to my .emacs file, but sending mail from gnus does
not work. It acts like it worked, giving a "Sending...done" message,
but the mail must be going out to the ether because it never reaches
its destination. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hope you have a very nice day, :-)

What is the current value of the `message-send-mail-function'
variable?

C-H v gives
message-send-mail-function's value is
smtpmail-send-it
I've checked variables that seem to be related to
this. smtpmail-smtp-server and smtpmail-default-smtp-server contain
the IP of my SMTP server. I'm not sure what else to look for.
Thanks again,

I'm not familiar with smtpmail. Anybody else have any ideas?
