[crosspost] Sending mail with an Exchange server

[Sorry for spamming the help-emacs-windows list, but this question really
should be crossposted.]

All,

I have some customisations of smtpmail that allow me to send mail using
Gmail's SMTP. I'd like to have similar settings that allow me to send mail
using an Exchange server.

Does anyone have such a setup working for them? How does one do it?

Thanks.

Actually, I'm not sure it should: help-gnu-emacs is an email gateway
into a newsgroup, so cross-posting to it and a regular mailing list
might complicate things for some users.

AFAIR, Exchange servers support the usual SMTP protocol, so you could
simply set things up as if you were talking to an SMTP server.  Did
you try that, and if so, what didn't work, exactly?

Well, SMTP worked.  Specifically, requiring 'smtpmail,

    (setq user-mail-address "<my email address>"
          send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
          message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
          smtpmail-starttls-credentials
          '(("<exchange server>" "25" nil nil))
          smtpmail-auth-credentials
          (expand-file-name "~/.authinfo")
          smtpmail-smtp-server "<exchange server>"
          smtpmail-smtp-service 25
          smtpmail-debug-info t
          smtpmail-debug-verb nil)

where "~/.authinfo" looks like:

    machine <exchange server> port 25 login <my username>

Also, of course, I had to make sure starttls was installed.
