Sending smtp email via gmail

Question

I am trying to send email via SMTP in gnus. I can receive email via IMAP just fine, but whenever I try to compose a message send, I get this error:

smtpmail-send-it: Sending failed: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. e5sm37529pdc.94 - gsmtp

This is my smtpmail-send-it configuration:

(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil))
      smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "[email protected]" nil))
      smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service 587
      starttls-use-gnutls t)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

I found a solution! I had to tell it where to find gnutls.

(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil))
      smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "[email protected]" nil))
      smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service 587
      starttls-gnutls-program "/usr/local/bin/gnutls-cli"
      starttls-extra-arguments nil
      starttls-use-gnutls t)
