Add

  (load "d:/emacs/site-lisp/gnus/contrib/smtpmail.el")

to your ~/.gnus.el.

No, quite the contrary!  Laszo should *not* load the file from contrib
unless he uses Emacs < 22.

| smtpmail.el

Ups, sorry, that was bogus!

  (load "d:/emacs/<version>/lisp/mail/smtpmail.el")

would be the correct path.  I only wanted to say that `load' is his
friend.

Actually it isn't here. :-)  It simply wrong to have contrib/ in
`load-path' as described in contrib/README:
