For me it still happens with today's CVS (and XEmacs 21.4.21).

No, at least for me.  I get exactly the same behavior:

  Deleting article /home/mxp/News/drafts/queue/1 in nndraft:drafts...
  Sending...done
  Wrote /home/mxp/Mail/archive/sent-mail/2008-06
  Wrote /home/mxp/News/drafts/queue/1
  Sending via mail...

No, the message is neither sent, nor queued--only deleted :-(

For me, that's the case.

I only set

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

The value of `message-send-mail-real-function' is
`gnus-agent-send-mail'.

Thanks and greetings
