Sendmail config for nognus 0.13?

Sendmail config for nognus 0.13?

Hello (again) world,

I upgraded to nognus 0.13 today. I don't think I've upgraded since '08
but I'm happy to report that everything seems just fine. Well. Mostly.

Sending mail seemed to be trying really hard to use
/Application/Mail.app. Like that was going to work.

I had configured the sendmail-program in .gnus:

  (setq sendmail-program "/usr/local/exim/bin/exim")

But apparently that wasn't sufficient for gnus-agent in 0.13. After
some random poking about, I concluded that adding

  (setq gnus-agent-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
  (setq message-send-mail-real-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)

would fix things, but that hardly seems like the best way. What
should I have done?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm

I have 
   (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
and it seems to be working on no gnus

So setting
   (setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
might do the trick...?

Like Steinar said, `message-send-mail-function' is the function that
controls this.  What did it default to for you?
