I thought I'd share a couple of links that I found useful.
Here's one that describes usage of msmtp as mentioned in other followups: http://cataclysmicmutation.com/blog /2010/11/19/multiple-gmail-accounts-in-gnus.html I didn't end up going that route, but I am pretty sure it would work nicely. Here's approximately what I ended up doing: http://www.mostlymaths.net /2010/12/emacs-30-day-challenge-using-gnus-to.html This is a configuration found on emacswiki whereby the SMTP credentials are set based on the from address. The problem I ran into was that auth-source picks credentials solely based on machine name and protocol, and since both my SMTP accounts are on the same machine, it always picked the first set of credentials. I did something rather ugly, which was to use the full domain name for one auth entry, and the aliased domain name for the other, in which case auth-source treats them as two separate machines. This also necessitated using the --insecure option for gnutls as the certificate check fails for the full domain because it was registered using the aliased domain. So, after all that, I probably should have used msmtp, but now it works a charm. One other tip: if you use auth-source, don't set nnimap-authinfo-file or point the smtp credentials at an authinfo file; gnus should use auth-source to handle all of that, with the end result being that you won't have to type your authinfo symmetric phrase in a million times. I hope some of that will be useful from a fellow masochist. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
