There's no necessity to modify any Lisp modules since 2002-05-09
if you are using Emacs CVS.  See the beginning of the smtpmail.el
file, which can be found in the /some.where/21.3.50/lisp/mail/
directory.  My setting is similar to the following:

(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.jpl.org")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain "jpl.org")
(setq smtpmail-sendto-domain "jpl.org")
(setq smtpmail-debug-info t)
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
      '(("mail.jpl.org" 25 "yamaoka" "password")))
(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials
      '(("mail.jpl.org" 25 nil nil)))

Don't set `smtpmail-starttls-credentials' if you don't have the
external starttls program.
