Here's an example of part of my setup. Yours should be similar: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "newshost.cc.utexas.edu")) (setq gnus-asynchronous t) (setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-zombies) (setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server) (setq gnus-save-newsrc-file nil)
;; So the server will accept me (setq gnus-local-domain "cs.utexas.edu") ;; So the from field will be reasonable. (setq gnus-user-from-line "Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>") (setq user-mail-address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (setq gnus-local-organization "The University of Texas at Austin") You might have to delete your existing ~/.newsrc.eld file if things still don't work. Sometime in the past I had Gnus get confused when it had saved bad info to the file as a result of a misconfiguration on my part. Hope this helps. I have long mini-HOWTO about using Gnus, in all it's glory, for mail and news. I'm going to try to set up a web page soon, and put the file there. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
