Well, I fixed my own problem. I'm posting this for archival
purposes. Here's what I did to enable handing off mail to my ISP for
delivery.
First, after trying to get D. L. Vander Woude's instructions working,
I went a completely different route. The only control files I have
are as follows with their contents:
me:
localhost.localdomain
virtualdomains:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
locals:
localhost.localdomain
smtproutes:
:mail.mindspring.com
The key file is the smtproutes file. It contains the server that the
mail should be handed off to. Additionally, I removed my
~alias/.qmail-default file which told qmail to use the pppdir alias.
I restarted qmail and all my tests, including local-remote worked
perfectly.
Now on to Gnus. I found the solution in Deja archives. There are
already predefined variables in Gnus for handing mail off to
qmail-inject. It was simply a matter of adding these to my .gnus
file. Here are the additions:
(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-qmail)
(setq message-qmail-inject-program "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject")
Hope someone gets some use out of this.
