Fabian - this is a very simple-minded answer, I'm afraid, but have you
tried sending mail? In the last year I have set up Gnus with sendmail,
exim and postfix. In each case Gnus has just worked once I had the MTA
set up properly - no need for anything in .gnus.
I _think_ the reason is that Gnus, unless you tell it otherwise, sends
mail out with the "sendmail-send-it" function using then program named by
"sendmail-program" which in my case is /usr/sbin/sendmail ! If the MTa
is sendmail, that's fine. If it is Postfix, then postfix uses a binary
named sendmail for this purpose. If using Exim then /usr/sbin/sendmail
is a link pointing to the relevant exim command (sorry, can't remember
name, probably exim!).
Of course I may be wrong .... but send me an e-mail and I'll tell you
if it arrives!
