help: cannot send mail by emacs+gnus

[winsphinX]

i can get news and mail by emacs+gnus,but cannot send mail.
in debug result, i see the words: 544:reciptient address reject:relay
access denied.
there's my .emacs config file（part of smtp only):
...............
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.sohu.com")
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.sohu.com")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.sohu.com" 25 "winsphinx"
"******")))
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t)

Third time's the charm! Does it really say "reciptient" (copy-pasted?)"
Maybe you misspelled the addie. Can you send mail to yourself. I just did
with C-x m .... etc.

there's a spell mistake - 'recipient' is correct.
and in fact i cannot send to anyone, including myself.
and C-x m is same as M-x mail, i think, but also failed.

Are you sure of the credential part ?

C-x m runs the command compose-mail.

i am not sure whether it is correct. is the format correct?
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp...." 25 "USERNAME" "PASSWORD")
now, i'm gonna do:
1, test more smtp servers and pick up an available one. (there's so few 
server that need no authentication...)
2, install an smtp server in my os.
3, give up gnus if all the above tries fail.

That's correct.

Did you install anything such as TLS (GNU tls or starttls ?) Please
include the whole part related to smtpmail here so we can effectively
help you.

If you think it is all about a gnus fault, you can try to ask them
directly (there is a mailing list dedicated to gnus).

Two possibilities:

1. You missconfigured smtpmail
2. you SMTP is badly setup

Please include a full stack of the error so we can check. Oh and do
you use tls or something like that ?

Re: help: cannot send mail by emacs+gnus

[winsphinX]

eh, it seems necessary to describe my OS - a LFS linux without any X 
systems, that means it runs in CONSOLE mode.
and, my rule is to install few softwares and do more tasks. so when i heard 
of  that it's no need to install any smtp softwares if i use emacs+gnus.
but now, i failed in any mail to anyone, including to myself. and, there's 
smoe difficult to get the debug infos.

This is right but in that case you won't be able to receive system
log messsages too.

If I were you, I would probably install a small SMTP (bsmtp, ssmtp or
anything you can find on LFS) and see how things go.
