Hi,
I have the following question: I want to send email via gnus. 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
