Gnus: using different e-mail addresses for different groups

Gnus: using different e-mail addresses for different groups

[Mathias Dahl]

I use Gnus to read news from two sources. One source is the
internal news server where I work and the other is at
news.individual.net.

Now, to avoid spam to my e-mail address at work I use my
"trash" address on hotmail (the one you will see in this
posting). Works quite well, until someone at work decides to
reply to me and not the group. The reply will arrive at the
hotmail address, and I do not want my work e-mails there.

Can I train Emacs to use a different e-mail address for
different groups? Right now Gnus gets the value from the
user-mail-address variable.

Take a look  to the "posting styles" that let you  define custom headers and
also evaluations depending on the group you are writing.

Maybe something like that will help :

Thanks! That was what I wanted. This snippet does what I need:

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
         (address "xyz@abc.com"))
        ("^comp.ifs"
         (address "xyz@123.com"))
        ("emacs"
         (address "xyz@xyz.com"))))

BTW, maybe you should post Gnus  specific questions to its dedicated group :
gnu.emacs.gnus

Yes, you can. Have a look at the info node `(gnus)Posting Styles'.

What I use doesn't work on group but on identity:
First define identity:
(setq gnus-alias-identity-alist
        '(("firstIdentity" "" "\"My self\" <bob@hotmail.com>" "" nil "" "")
          ("secondIdentity" "" "\"My self\" <bob@workmail.com>" "" nil "" "")))
Now that you set up 2 identities, you can ask gnus to use one depending of the header.
At my work everybody will use a workmail.com address so I can ask to send all the 
mail for a workmail.com address with the second identity:
(setq gnus-alias-identity-rules
        '(("send mails to anyone at workmail with secondIdentity" ("To" ".*workmail.*" current) "secondIdentity")))
It probably can be improve a lot but has been working for me.
And gnu.emacs.gnus would probably give you much better information.
