Some of my earlier post was badly edited, sorry:
I wrote:

Here is a hopefully better version of that sentence:
If I am composing a message, save it to the drafts folder (C-x C-s) and
then immediately send the mail (C-c C-c) I get the indicated error:
,----
| Sending...
| Mark set [2 times]
| Sending via mail...
| Sending email
| Sending email done
| Sending...done
| Opening connection to personal via tls...
| open-network-stream: personal/993 Name or service not known
`----
I get the same error if I (say) delete the *unsent mail* buffer, go to
the Drafts group, and send the saved message from Drafts via (D s).
I'm a bit mystified why gnus is trying to establish a "connection
... via tls" at all. I get this behavior when I compose e.g. from the
*Groups* buffer (so there seems to me to be no reason why gnus is
connecting to anywhere after having sent the email...?).
For what it is worth, I have
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
and
(setq gnus-message-archive-group nil)
in my config.
As I mentioned in the earlier post, I have lines like
(eval (setq smtpmail-smtp-user "gmcninch"))
and
(eval (setq smtpmail-smtp-user "gmcninchprof"))
in gnus-posting-styles which control "who I'm posting as".
And mysteriously (to me at least) I get a different error when posting
"as gmcninchprof" then when posting "as gmcninch" -- namely the error
| Opening connection to personal via tls...
| open-network-stream: personal/993 Name or service not known
becomes
| Opening connection to gmcninch-tufts via tls...
| open-network-stream: gmcninch-tufts/993 Name or service not known
Indeed the condition testing in gnus-posting-styles is essentially
whether I'm posting from the "personal" group or the "gmcninch-tufts"
group, so there is some sense to this but I don't see the mechanism...
Well, hopefully my report is at least somewhat more coherent....
Thanks for any suggestions!
best,
gm
