Yes, therefore my suggestion checks if `smtpmail-default-smtp-server'
is non-nil. But maybe this is not sufficient or we should better
check `smtpmail-smtp-server'. Simon?

If the user (or site admin) has configured
`smtpmail-[default-]smtp-server' (or $SMTPSERVER) I think we can
assume that it works. Else the user can customize the variable
`message-send-mail-function'.
I'd like to add `mailclient.el' to Gnus' contrib directory so that
Emacs 21 (or XEmacs) users can also use it. David, WDYT?
Bye, Reiner.
