Hi Wada-san.

I've never used the Gmail SMTP server (I'll try it later though
it is a bit difficult because I'm behind the firewall).  But I
guess the cause of your problem might be due to FLIM's smtpmail.

(Emacs's smtpmail.el doesn't use `smtp-server', etc.)

Do you use FLIM intentionally?  If not, I think you'd better use
Emacs' smtpmail.el to discuss it particularly in this newsgroup.
Moreover, smtpmail.el you use might be very old because FLIM will
not install it since 2003.  The recent one has been much improved,
supports stattls, and works with Emacs 21 even though it is for
Emacs 22.  Here it is:

The way to use it is in the file itself.

Could you let me know what happens when compiling Gnus 5.10.8?
