To use TLS you need to have either the starttls command-line tool (available from ) 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 -- "If it seem slow, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay."
