Sendig mail from GMX fails

Sendig mail from GMX fails

[someusernamehere]

Hey  have this in my .gnus file:

(setq smtpmail-local-domain nil
      smtpmail-queue-mail t
      smtpmail-queue-dir "~/mail/queued-mail/"
      smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.gmx.net"
      smtpmail-debug-info t
      smtpmail-debug-verb t
      smtpmail-starttls-credentials
      '(("mail.gmx.net" 25 nil nil)))


The problem is that Gnus try to sent the mail for the local postfix (I
mean the server web on my own machine) for example if I stop the
postfix in my machine I can't send mail
and using my local postfix some mails are not send, what is wrong?, I
want to use GMX smtp for send mail.


thanks

Have you read the Gnus FAQ [1], say, item 3.8?  Or the relevant bit of
the Gnus manual [2]?

Now, ye, I have added the following, now looks like:

(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)

(setq smtpmail-local-domain nil
      smtpmail-queue-mail t
      smtpmail-queue-dir "~/mail/queued-mail/"
      smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.gmx.net"
      smtpmail-debug-info t
      smtpmail-debug-verb t
      smtpmail-starttls-credentials
      '(("mail.gmx.net" 25 nil nil)))

but doesn't works :-/

I had loads of trouble getting it work with gmail too.

Did you install gnutls-bin?

Here is my setup:

In my .gnus.el :

,----
| (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
| (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
| (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
| (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
`----

In  my "personal.el"


,----
| (defun fs-change-smtp ()
|   "Change the SMTP server according to the current from line."
|   (setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))
|   (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
|   (save-excursion
|     (let ((from
|            (save-restriction
|              (message-narrow-to-headers)
|              (message-fetch-field "from"))))
|       (message "From is `%s', setting `smtpmail-smtp-server' to `%s'"
|                from
|                (cond
|                  ((string-match "hadron.*" from)
|  		 (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587
|   "hadronquark" "password"))))
| ;;*snip*
| 		(t
| 		 (error 
| 		  (concat "Don't know which mail server to use for "
| 			  from)))))))
| )
| 
| (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'fs-change-smtp)
