I guess that you have set up your email address somewhere else, too?

Have you already read
http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_136.html#SEC136
?

If this should not help, please tell us if you want to use sendmail or
alike or you want to send the mail directly to a foreign SMTP server.

Greetings

mail-source-touch-pop requires that you set
message-send-mail-function to message-smtpmail-send-it, not
smtpmail-send-it.  See (info "(gnus)POP before SMTP").

Hmm, it says message-send-mail-function has not been customized.
What is the file in which you've put the above two lines?

Maybe you need to show all your configurations.

It looks like the value of `message-send-mail-function' is
`message-send-mail-with-sendmail'.  Please check the value in a
message buffer using `<f1> v message-send-mail-function RET'.  Maybe
there's an error in your init file that prevents the evaluation of the
setq statement.

BTW, the following header line in your posting is bogus:

| Face: ~/.face

See (info "(gnus)Face") or use `(Face (gnus-face-from-file "~/.face"))'
in `gnus-posting-styles'.

Bye, Reiner.

If you have both ~/.gnus.el and ~/.gnus, the latter is ignored.
