Hi thruxton, I have the same setup as you, and have (mostly) configured my gnus, but as you will soon learn, it is a loooong process (you keep finding more things you can do). For sending mail I use emacs' own smtpmail (included with emacs) since this gives me complete control; I can easily see/alter exactly what it's doing. I originally tried ssmtp then msmtp, but couldn't configure them exactly the way I wanted. I have the following tls related packages installed: gnutls-bin, guile-gnutls, libcurl3-gnutls, libgnutls26, and libgnutls-dev. I can't remember if they were actually needed by smtpmail since I installed them for ssmtp and msmtp, but they (the tls stuff) only use around 4 or 5mb. thruxton <psmer...@gmail.com> writes:
