Thanks, I found your elisp script at:
http://www.dotfiles.com/files/30/271_gnus.el
The script depends on fetchmail, and I have some trouble here.
I set the fetchmail configuration by running fetchmailconf
and the resulting .fetchmailrc was as follows:
# Configuration created Mon Mar 29 19:46:00 2004 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "linux.local"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
set daemon 60
poll md4.vsnl.net.in with proto POP3
user 'ramanraj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' there with password '********' is ramanraj
here options keep warnings 3600
antispam 571 550 501 554
When I test run fetchmail from fetchmailconf, the following is output:
fetchmail: 5.4.0 querying md4.vsnl.net.in (protocol POP3) at Mon, 29 Mar 2004
19:50:58 +0530 (IST)
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Messaging Multiplexor (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix

Done.

How to fix this?
I can send mail and receive locally:
# mail ramanraj@linux.local // works
