  This is in Emacs 19.34 - I use it all the time at work, since I am behind
a SOCKS firewall, and sendmail doesn't grok it.  Check this out:

(setq
 send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
 smtpmail-default-smtp-server "newman"
 smtpmail-local-domain "aventail.com")

(require 'smtpmail)

Voila! Works great for me (using the elisp SOCKS client I wrote a while
back :)  This is definitely something we need to synch up with Emacs 19.34
for the 19.15 release of XEmacs.
