sending mail

[Steven Arntson]

I'm a beginning user of gnus, trying to use it to send emails, with the
command "m." I compose, and then send with C-c C-c, and it looks like
it's working, but then the system hangs and times out. I don't know what
I'm doing, and am not too familiar with elisp beyond cutting and pasting
code from the emacswiki. I'd very much appreciate any help! Here's my
.gnus.el, anonymized:


;; My Gnus init

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gwene.org"))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
                  '(nnmbox ""
                    (nnmbox-mbox-file "~/MAIL")
                    (nnmbox-active-file "~/Mail.active")))
(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "my.usual-server.com" :user 
"me@mydomain.com")))

(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "my.usual-server.com") ; needs to be 
specified before the (require)
 (require 'smtpmail)
 (setq smtpmail-local-domain "mydomain.com")
 (setq smtpmail-sendto-domain "mydomain.com")
 (setq user-full-name "My Name")
 (setq user-mail-address (concat "me@" smtpmail-local-domain))
 (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ; only to debug problems
