1. `smtpmail' is not part of Gnus - it's a more general Emacs library.

2. I'm not sure if additional error check are required.  When unsure
about the syntax, I'd suggest to use `M-x customize-variable RET
smtpmail-auth-credentials RET'.  (I wonder how `user-mail-address' can
be nil at all).

Bye, Reiner.
