Gnus and SMTP?

[Ole Sebastian Stein <osstein@stud.ntnu.no>]

I've been trying to get gnus speak smtp with my smtp-server, to avoid
having a local MTA (exim, sendmail etc).

I get the following error from gnus:
unknown extesion xverp
Sending failed; SMTP protocol error

I'm on a woody-box behind a firewall and an ADSL-modem.

In my .emacs I have:
(setq user-full-name "Ole Sebastian Stein")
(setq user-mail-address "osstein@stud.ntnu.no")
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.stud.ntnu.no")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain nil)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (load-library "smtpmail")

and in my .gnus I have;
(load-library "message")
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)


I've tried to have both the lisp-parts above in my .emacs, but that
doesn't do anything good.
