I suggest that you try this: M-: (make-local-variable 'smtpmail-smtp-server) RET M-: (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "other-server") RET You could also try smtpmail-default-smtp-server instead of smtpmail-smtp-server. Please put in the right server name instead of other-server. -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
