I deleted the query variable put in my custom.el as lee mentioned and restarted with the send function variable , send-mail-function, set to "sendmail-send-it". I think that emacs shouldnt prompt you for an smtp server if its set to this value since gnus does not have to talk directly to an smtp server. regards r.
