Re: mail beyond NIS

[Xavier Maillard]

Hi,

   I discovered rmail-extras.el from the EmacsWiki that gets me my mail
   by ftping some machine in the NIS domain. But I couldn't figure out
   how to send mail. Could someone help?

I guess you could write your own routine wrapping a call to
`sendmail-send-it' or you could also use smtpmail.el and use an
external SMTP server.

Here I am using my own sendmail-send function which stores all
sent mail in a queue. Then a cron job just send the queue by UUCP
once a day. This is a workaround to a simple problem I could not
fix easily (roaming and SMTP connections refused by my IST).
