That works very well since years for me. However, at the place here, there is the following complication: I want to use my laptop from home, and the way they set it up, I started to use IMAP for reading, and the want that email is sent via some server smpt.myorganization.xx (BTW: When directly ``inside'' the net of my university, everything works fine, it's only from home that I have trouble). Now, the gnus-manual recommends (if I am not mistaken) in that case the setting: (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.myorganization.xx") However, emails don't get sent. I noticed, that when trying to send emails via evolution, emails don't get sent (presumably for the same reason) _unless_ I configure evolution for sending emails a security option namely stating that it uses a "use secure connection: SSL-encryption" How can I activate the same thing for gnus? Or maybe in general. Thanks, Martin Steffen
