I'm getting into using Emacs (ideally exclusively for things like editing, email, newsgroups, etc.). I've gotten gnus to display articles from a newsgroup server and I've been going through the manual learing how to mark, score, etc. However, I don't seem to be able to post or mail from gnus. The default is set to use sendmail as the agent (which I thought was working on my system) but no mail goes out. So I'd like to change it to use my ISP's smtp server and was not sure about the syntax and where to put it (I don't currently have a ~/.gnus file (using SUSE) but I do have a ~/.gnu-emacs file. Do I need to create a .gnus file? Thanks for the assistance.
