 | I am convinced this is an emacs issue as I can use any other mail
client just fine. I use gnus for both mail and news. When trying to
send a mail to an email address, I get a messag in the minibuffer
stating that the mail is being sent but it never finishes. After
about 1-1.5 minutes, the buffer with the mail to send disappears as if
everything is ok but it never actually sends. I *can* however, post
to usenet groups with no issue. I checked processes during this 1-1.5
minute period and I can see that sendmail is being executed. I also
set my sendmail function to:
'(message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
'(smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.myserver.com")
Linux 2.6.9
Xemacs 21.5.18 with GNUS 5.10.6
What am I missing?

In that case you might find better help at: gnu.emacs.gnus.

The smtpmail function that comes along with the Emacs distribution
stumbles across the smtp authentication process. I don't know what's
about XEmacs, but this link should help you:

I might be wrong, but the last time I tried to set up emacs for sending
mail (latest release) I bumped into the problem that smtp.el didn't
allow authentication, or if it did it was broken. This may be what
you're seeing here. Something to check anyway.
