I think it's the default if you haven't configured gnus-select-method.

I guess it dates back to the days where your local university system
administrator would have configured the local network so the default
"just worked".

These days it's less useful.

I think you can avoid the problem, by setting:

    (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil))

in your configuration.


  Best regards,
