To use TLS you need to have either the starttls command-line tool
(available from <ftp://ftp.opaopa.org/pub/elisp/starttls-0.9.tar.gz>) or
gnutls (can be installed via fink [if you use fink]) installed. I have
the former installed and TLS works for me (at least it did the last time
I tried it). Here are the relevant lines from my .gnus.el (this is to
use STARTTLS on port 26):
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 26)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.messagingengine.com")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
'(("mail.messagingengine.com" 26 "username" "password")))
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials
'(("mail.messagingengine.com" 26 nil nil)))
HTH,
Emily
