Hi David, try setting these accordingly for your environment: (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) 3 lines matching smtpmail in buffer .emacs-i586-pc-win32. 302: '(smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp") 373: '(send-mail-function (quote smtpmail-send-it) t) 475: '(message-send-mail-function (quote smtpmail-send-it)) 12 lines matching smtpmail in buffer .gnus. 92: (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "engine.ecf.teradyne.com") 93: (setq smtpmail-local-domain "ecf.teradyne.com") 138: (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "mailto.t-online.de") 139: (setq smtpmail-local-domain "t-online.de") 179: (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "engine.ecf.teradyne.com") 180: (setq smtpmail-local-domain "ecf.teradyne.com") 214: (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "engine.ecf.teradyne.com") 215: (setq smtpmail-local-domain "ecf.teradyne.com") 249: (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "engine.ecf.teradyne.com") 250: (setq smtpmail-local-domain "ecf.teradyne.com") 263:; (setq smtpmail-smtp-server nil) 264:; (setq smtpmail-local-domain nil) After you send mail first, you should have a buffer named similar to: "*trace of SMTP session to mailto.t-online.de*" Hope this helps, Adrian David> -- David> David A.
