@vindex send-mail-function |
445 |
|
The variable @code{send-mail-function} controls how the default mail |
446 |
|
user agent sends mail. It should be set to a function. The default |
447 |
|
is @code{sendmail-send-it}, which delivers mail using the Sendmail |
448 |
|
installation on the local host. To send mail through a SMTP server, |
449 |
|
set it to @code{smtpmail-send-it} and set up the Emacs SMTP library |
450 |
|
(@pxref{Sending mail via SMTP,,,smtpmail}). A third option is |
451 |
|
@code{feedmail-send-it}, see the commentary section of the |
452 |

@file{feedmail.el} package for more information. |
