Sending emails from multiple accounts on same smtp server
I have an authinfo file of the following format
machine smtp.gmail.com login nsivaramx...@gmail.com password xxx port 587
machine smtp.gmail.com login shanxx...@gmail.com password xxx port 587
Depending on the group I'm in, I'd like it to use one or the other
account. I thought using a setup like
(".*python\\.*"
(visible . t)
(display . all)
(posting-style
(address "nsivaram...@gmail.com")
(name "Sivaram Neelakantan")
(body "\n\nsivaram\n-- \n")
(user-mail-address "nsivaram...@gmail.com")))
in posting styles would choose the right smtp id to send from authinfo
but it doesn't seem to do that. Sometimes I see one or the other email
FROM header depending on which group I entered first
Any advice on how to make it choose the right smtp account based on
address? and set the appropriate headers?

Please launch Emacs without your init file, and check the dynamic-library-alist. That list of DLLs especially the gnutls one should be there in the ezwinports. I'm assuming you're using the stock install of Emacs 24.4 from the gnu website. My box is also win7 laptop (64-bit). I'm assuming that all this 32bit stuff will work since I think Emacs itself is still only 32 bit. Yes, it will work. Anyway now gnus is not even usable as newsreader so I am posting via newsguy web direct. I don't want to undo what I've done and will start reading the whole gnus manual to see if I can get more insight into what is going on. Anyway I am not able to see where the old dll's are coming from. Well, it is important that Emacs can find the exact versions of DLLs of the alist that it think it needs. Without that, nothing will work. IF it is finding older versions of DLLs, you prolly have to root through your win7 directories and at least temporarily rename those DLLs. Is it necessary to restart w32 itself? When I changed the PATH, I had to anyway reboot and so cannot say either way; it might be a good idea to reboot, Win systems are funky. There is a 493k libXpm.dll in the emacs.exe subdirectory (\emacs\bin). Is that supposed to be there? That shouldn't be a cause of any issues. You don't have to do anything to it.

Re: How to ignore Reply-To?
Teemu Likonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: How can I ignore Reply-To header when replying or (very-)wide-replying to a mail? Sometimes there's a need to overrule the Reply-To that was set by a mailing list software. Well, the Gnus default is sane when you're in a mailing list group in that you typically reply to the list. That said, you could tinker with --8---cut here---start-8--- `broken-reply-to' Elements like `(broken-reply-to . t)' signals that `Reply-To' headers in this group are to be ignored, and for the header to be hidden if `reply-to' is part of `gnus-boring-article-headers'. This can be useful if you're reading a mailing list group where the listserv has inserted `Reply-To' headers that point back to the listserv itself. That is broken behavior. So there! --8---cut here---end---8--- in Group Parameters documentation in the manual. Since the modification you wanted is infrequent, it's best to simply edit the reply-to. sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Gmail IMAP to behave more like traditional IMAPs?
I have no idea where Gmail's IMAP support deviates from the standards. Just thought I'd post the link where it claims one can set it in such a way, that you can get the expected behaviour. http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-advanced-imap-controls.html --8---cut here---start-8--- ... There are also some more obscure options for those of you who want to make Gmail's IMAP work more like traditional IMAP providers: you can turn off auto-expunge or trash messages when they're no longer visible through IMAP. The IMAP protocol allows messages to be marked for deletion, a sort of limbo state where a message is still present in the folder but slated to be deleted the next time the folder is expunged. In our standard IMAP implementation, when you mark a message as deleted, Gmail doesn't let it linger in that state -- it deletes (or auto-expunges) it from the folder right away. If you want the two-stage delete process, after you've enabled this Lab, just select 'Do not automatically expunge messages' under the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab in Settings. --8---cut here---end---8--- For all those who have IMAP issues, this *might* help in fixing things? sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Re: msmtp and multiple smtp servers

But its not matching the .msmtprc section. Instead it is dropping through to the default e.g , | account abc | user [EMAIL PROTECTED] | password abc123 | | account rgr | user [EMAIL PROTECTED] | password rgr123 | | account default : rgr ` in this case if the from is logged using message in the multi-smtp function then message correctly reports that account abc was selected into variable account. But the actual user password picked up for the smtp chat with the gmail servers is that of rgr above : the default account. I have latest msmtp 1.4.13. This then makes me think there is indeed a problem with (setq message-sendmail-extra-arguments (list -a account)) But examining it tells me message-sendmail-extra-arguments's value is (-a abc) Is this correct? Has something changed here? So what else can I do to debug? I am dreading this being something so obvious with my config file. Does your posting style look similar to this?

The second argument is the account names in the msmtprc file. 1. Set the posting styles match for 2 different folders and check the message-sendmail-extra-arguments value in each case (by entering the folder) to see whether it changes from one value to the other. If it doesn't, fix your posting styles, first. 2. Then send an email and check the logs and the sent mail folder on gmail to check which smtp account it used.
