1. what do I need to add to .emacs to send email from my gmail account.
At the moment, if I try to send something, it shouws my username and my
hostname in the From: field (instead of username and gmail.com
I've got my ~/.authinfo in place
that's the relevant bit of my .emacs
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.virginmedia.com"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-method '(nnimap "gmail"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)))
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil))
smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587
"myusername@gmail.com" nil))
smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
smtpmail-smtp-service 587
smtpmail-local-domain "yourcompany.com")
2. How can I subscribe to particular groups?
3. Can I remove the line about local-domain?
thank you very much in advance

Could you share them, in case someone stumbles over your questions while
searching for the same answers?
Thanks,

When it comes to subsribing to newsgroups, I created a file ~/.newsrc
and included the names of newsgroups I know I want to subscribe to.
Alternatively, there is such an option in emacs/gnus menu.
When it comes to posting messages, I created a ~/.gnus file
and included the following:
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*"
;; (address "email@gomain.com")
(organization "blahblah")
(signature-file "~/.gnus-sig")
))
)
;; my mail headers - if not using posting styles
(setq user-full-name ".Martin.")
(setq user-mail-address "blahblah@gmail.com")
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil
gnus-read-active-file nil
gnus-nov-is-evil nil)
;; don't ask how many email to dowload
(setq gnus-large-newsgroup 'nil)
I've still got some question that I haven't found any answer.
I guess I'll post them in separate posts

Below I quote my original post which includes my config files.
The other thing is how could I set it up so that my email address
wouldn't appear in the header (or I could write a dummy email there)
thank you

Why does this puzzle you? :-)
Seeing to whom/what you sent something is usually more interesting than
your own name.
Check out the variable gnus-ignored-from-addresses:
,----[ C-h v gnus-ignored-from-addresses RET ]
| `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' is a variable declared in Lisp.
| -- loaded from "gnus-sum"
|
| Value: ... elided ...
|
| Documentation:
| *From headers that may be suppressed in favor of To headers.
| This can be a regexp or a list of regexps.

Please don't, it is annoying and a waste of time.
But since you have set user-mail-address in your configuration, I guess
you can quickly see how to change it?
Best regards,
Adam

Thanks Adam,
Well, does it mean that it's normal? I mean, it's not the case of
my invalid settings?
I'll check the variable. Thanks

Oh, I thought user-mail-address is directly linked to my ability to post
messages.

Perfectly normal.

How would that work?

Fair enough, I mixed it up with the smtp settings from .emacs
Thank you
