Does anybody know what I have to write to my Gnus-config? 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! hth Glyn
