or you could just configure emacs to use your mail server i.e.
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.server.somewhere.com")
(require 'smtpmail) ; this must come after the above setq or set the
; via customize
If you need to use authentication to use the mail server, look at
smtpmail-auth-credentials, or better still M-x customize-group <ret>
smtpmail <ret>
It is easy to setuop and lets you easily send messages from within
emacs.
