Ah!  That makes sense, being that it *is* my default mail server.  Is
there a reason to do so other than logical consistency?

The truthful answer?  Because I don't yet really know what I'm doing
with the .emacs and .gnus files.  So, if I understand correctly, this
could be (setq smtpmail-local-domain "bitstream.net")?  What would be
the advantage?

earlier query.
