Do you have to do this in elisp?

The standard way is to have a local MTA on your machine do this for
you, usually sendmail, exim or postfix. 

The usual way to configure them is to use a smarthost for delivery,
perhaps with authentication.

If you think sendmail, exim or postfix are overkill on your
workstation, consider using ssmtp or a similar lightweight mail
deliver client.
