Problem with sending mail using VM

From: klt(a)maths.leeds.ac.uk To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Dear Sirs, I can read my mail from my pop/smtp-server klt%ensheimer.de(a)post.strato.de but when I send an email using VM 6.75 (under Xemacs 21.1), via smtp, VM seems to connect my smtp-server and starts sending something. However VM comes to a standstill leaving the following message in the echo-area : 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself However VM does not react to key strokes, whereby the menues pop-up if the mouse is over them but clicking on the menu item does not have any effect. Therefore I have to quit Xemacs and VM via the Kill-function of XWindows. I would like to give you the whole content of the buffer "trace of SMTP session to post.strato.de" but that buffer is not invisible. Here my smtp-configuration as it is written in .emacs : (setenv "MAILHOST" "post.strato.de") (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ; not for Gnus (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ; for Gnus (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "post.strato.de") (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "post.strato.de") (setq smtpmail-local-domain "ensheimer.de") (setq smtpmail-sendto-domain "post.strato.de") (setq smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp") (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) ; only to debug problems (load-library "smtpmail") ####################### ### the mail-buffer To: klt(a)maths.leeds.ac.uk Subject: test X-Mailer: VM 6.75 under 21.1 (patch 14) "Cuyahoga Valley" XEmacs Lucid Reply-To: klt(a)ensheimer.de Bcc: klt(a)ensheimer.de --text follows this line-- -- email:klt＠ensheimer.de http://www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/~klt I would be very grateful if someone could help me solving this problems.
