Hi,

I have an email: gottfr...@posteo.de

Additionally I have got aliases:
g...@posteo.at
g...@posteo.de

How can I change the settings in gnus.el ?

If I want to send an email gnus always proposes:   g...@posteo.de
but I want to send an email from the alias:    _gfp@posteo.at_

I don´t know how can I change that.

here my gnus.el:

;; get emails
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
       '((nnimap "posteo"
                 (nnimap-address "posteo.de")
                 (nnnimap-user "gottfr...@posteo.de")
                 (nnimap-authenticator login)
                 (nnimap-stream ssl)
                 (nnimap-server-port 993))
         (nntp "eternal"
               (nntp-address "news.eternal-september.org")
               (nntp-port-number 119)
               (nntp-connection-timeout 15))))

;; send emails according to Arash Esbati
(setq gnus-parameters
       '((".*"
          (posting-style
           (name "gfp")
           (address "g...@posteo.at")))))            ;; (address
           "gottfr...@posteo.de")))))

(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
       smtpmail-smtp-server "posteo.at"             ;;
       smtpmail-smtp-server "posteo.de"
       smtpmail-smtp-service 587)


thanks

You can check `gnus-posting-styles` variable.  That is, I have used the
configurator to fill it, just in case some syntax error creeps in.

I have for example in mine:

  ("Provider" (address "u...@provider.com")
   ("X-Message-SMTP-Method" "smtp smtp.provider.com 587")
   ("Gcc" "nnimap+Provider:Sent"))

I have got that "gnus-posting-styles" , but it does not work.
It should sent mail from "g...@posteo.at"

(setq gnus-parameters
>>        '((".*"
>>           (posting-style
>>            (name "gfp")
>>            (address "g...@posteo.at")))))
>>            "gottfr...@posteo.de")))))

Then, what I do is to compose a mail with C-u m with the cursor over the

group having that post style:

Start composing a mail.
If ARG, use the group under the point to find a posting style.
If ARG is 1, prompt for a group name to find the posting style.
