Either add the following to your .emacs or evaluate it with C-x C-e, C-j
or whatever is appropriate in the buffer's context:
(setq user-full-name "your name") ;; an arbitrary string works here
(setq user-mail-address [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ;; replace with your isp
assigned user name @ isp name
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.yourisp.com") ;; if this doesn't
work get the correct string from another mail program (i.e. Outlook)
(setq smtpmail-local-domain nil)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(load-library "smtpmail")
(setenv "MAILHOST" "mail.isp.com") ;; or whatever: see above
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list
'("[EMAIL PROTECTED]") rmail-pop-password-required t)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.isp.com")) ;; or get string from a
mail program known to work. This might not belong in .emacs but in .gnus
or something
(load-library "message")
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
Then try M-x gnus. Something should work. If there is a gnus wizard
following this thread, I have a question too:
How can I use one email address for mail and one for news, using gnus for
both?
