smtp + mail2news

smtp + mail2news

[lconrad]

I'm having trouble sending news, with a recent CVS version of gnus.
(Probably from last Friday or so.  I attempted to update it before
sending this, but didn't seem to be able to connect to cvs.)

I'm using smtp to send mail, and a mail2news gateway for posting.  I'm 
pretty sure this has worked in the recent past. 

For sending mail, I have
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "taz")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain nil)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)

I have tried with and without:

(setq message-send-news-function 'smtpmail-send-it)

For news, I have:

(setq gnus-post-method '(nngateway "mail2news@anon.lcs.mit.edu"
                                 (nngateway-header-transformation
                                  nngateway-mail2news-header-transformation)))

When I attempt to post a news message, I get a message saying "Sending 
failed, no recipients".

Does it work to say this?

(setq gnus-post-method '(nngateway "mail2news@anon.lcs.mit.edu"
                         (nngateway-address "mail2news@anon.lcs.mit.edu")
                         (nngateway-header-transformation
                          nngateway-mail2news-header-transformation)))

Note the additional nngateway-address spec.

I've never used nngateway, just a hunch from looking at the docs.

Yes, thanks.  That seems to work.

Okay, time for a bug report.  I'll create it and send you a Cc, okay?
