You have provided three arguments to ‘setq’.  ‘setq’ accepts any even number
of arguments, starting with 2.  So, it can have 2 or 4 or 6 or 8, etc., number
of arguments.  The argument pairs must be a symbol, followed by a value.
To read a brief description of ‘setq’, type C-h f setq RET

A longer description can be read in Emacs’s Info reader by evaluating the
following expression in Emacs:

   (info "(elisp) Setting Variables")

Here are the arguments that you have provided:

1. gnus-posting-styles -- a symbol
2. '(address "gottfried <gottfried@posteo.de>") -- a value
3. ("X-Message-SMTP-Method" "smtp Posteo-posteo.de 465
    gottfried@posteo.de") -- a value

There is a section of the GNUS Info manual that describes posting styles
that you can read by evaluating the following expression in Emacs:

   (info "(gnus) Posting Styles")
