sending mail from gnus

[Tim Ayers]

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?
