If the email-address isn't detected correctly automatically, you may
want to set user-mail-address:
,----[ C-h v user-mail-address RET ]
| user-mail-address is a variable defined in `startup.el'.
| Its value is "asjo@koldfront.dk"
|
| Documentation:
| Full mailing address of this user.
| This is initialized with environment variable `EMAIL' or, as a
| fallback, using `mail-host-address'. This is done after your
| init file is read, in case it sets `mail-host-address'.
|
| You can customize this variable.

I don't use SMTP locally myself (Gnus defaults to sendmail(1), which is
the local Postfix on my desktop machine); I think something like:
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
smtpmail-default-smtp-server "yoursmtpserver.example.com")
and then filling in your password for the smtp-server in ~/.authinfo
should be enough, though.
Best regards,
Adam
