The NNTP interface works and so you can use Gnus to read (and reply
to) the mailing list. The setup is
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "news.gmane.org"
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-tls-stream)
(nntp-port-number 563)
(nnir-search-engine gmane)
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
[The following is completely optional, separate and unrelated - but it
is convenient.]
If you want to use Gnus for reading email as well, you can add your email
source(s) as secondary select methods:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'nnir)
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil)
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "GMail"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-port 587)
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-records-commands t)
(nnir-search-enging imap)))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "Ohter email service
(nnimap-address "imap.some-mail-service.com")
(... other setup ...)
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-record-commands t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This takes care of incoming mail.
There is also outgoing mail to worry about, but that's not a Gnus
problem: you have to set up a couple of things in the smtpmail
library (C-h i smtp RET): the sending method, the server, and the port.
I use my localhost at port 25 as my mail server and run postfix to
forward the mail to my "real" relay:
(setq send-mail-function (quote smtpmail-send-it))
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "localhost")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 25)
The postfix set-up is left as an exercise, but there are plenty
of tutorials on the interwebs.
