I've been given a machine here that does not participate in the NIS
domain that I use for my primary email and does not directly collect
mail. Moreover I do not have root access to it. The way I use email
usually is to ssh some machine in the NIS domain and use some text
based MUA like Pine. Is there any way I can send and receive email
via the NIS domain from this machine using GNU Emacs Rmail?
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?

Well, I managed to sort this out. Sorry. I used fetchmail to get my
mails and set the suitable smtp server in Rmail to send mails. Pretty
elementary.

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).
