posting "some" mail through a different server?
Wes Hardaker
How come this doesn't work as group parameters:
(smtpmail-smtp-server "localhost")
(smtpmail-smtp-service 1125)
(message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
Specifically, I'm trying to send some of my mail through a ssh port
forwarded tunnel (through port 1125). This doesn't seem to work
though and it still tries to go through my local sendmail. I know the
-default versions of the variables shouldn't be used but I'd think the
above settings should be ok. Apparently not?

Just guessing: Because the Message buffer (or whatever buffer is
current at the appropriate time) doesn't inherit buffer-local values
from the Summary buffer?

Probably.
sigh.
Anyone have thoughts on how to make it work?

In your `gnus-posting-styles'. Maybe.

gnus-newsgroup-variables?

make sure that replies go out through the correct SMTP server.

Thanks for the example. I'll definitely consider that.

That's probably the right way to do it, but unfortunately it doesn't
support setting of random variables, which would mean doing it inside
a setq inside a function defining a value for something else.
Maybe we should add support for (variable . value) in
gnus-posting-styles that would auto-create a local variable and
set it. That of course is backwards from group parameters, where
variables are supposed to be (name value) and attributes are (name
. value) which is disappointing from a consistency point of view...

Also would work, but would cause problems when entering multiple
groups (which I do sometimes) as it forces the variable to be global.

It does have `eval'. E.g.
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*"
(eval (set (make-local-variable 'foo) 'bar)))))

Missed that in the docs. Thanks.
Of course, that doesn't work either. sigh.
I suspect that when the message-send-mail-function is called its not
in the buffer in question and is a different processing buffer (I'm
guessing. I haven't looked at the internals). I've verified that in
the article I'm writing the variables are set up and local, but they
don't affect the sending of the mail....
