Have you read the smtpmail manual and followed its advice? It's accessible with `C-h i d m smtp RET'. With Gnus you basically need to set `message-send-mail-function' and `smtpmail-smtp-server' for making basic sending of mail work. For authentication you just need to specify machine, login and password in ~/.authinfo, which `smtpmail-auth-credentials' points to per default. For the syntax of entries in the file see `man netrc'. If you want to use starttls with SMTP, set `smtpmail-starttls-credentials' accordingly. -- Ralf
