If you can use the latest Emacs and Gnus (from CVS), they support specifying the password like this: machine smtp.yourhost.com login tzz password SECRET or machine smtp.yourhost.com login tzz password SECRET port smtp # if needed machine smtp.yourhost.com login tzz password SECRET port 993 in your netrc file (by default ~/.authinfo.gpg, see the variable `auth-sources' in auth-source.el, and enable EPA to get .gpg files to be automatically encrypted).
