I just tried switching to a different SMTP server and found that Gnus did not try to authenticate at all. My normal SMTP server is the same server that I retrieve my mail from so it has an entry in my .authinfo file, evidently Gnus was only authenticating because of that. smtpmail-auth-credentials and smtpmail-starttls-credentials both seem to be completely ignored. I checked smtpmail.el and I do have a version that claims to use those variables (as I'd expect, since they are documented in the Info file.) Thank you very much for your help but I still can't work out what is going wrong. Oh well. =2D-=20 Charles Collicutt --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (Darwin) iD8DBQBCD1eH0xrD0PVhf2sRApDEAJ9/CMSZR6KB0sYcjwG6Sl/KqFCdCwCgkaaq gZV38d+PrwZxXYQk7Zg12GE= =qfCN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
