+## sending mail using smtpmail
+
+another option is to use remov
+
+<!-- By default message mode will use the system `sendmail` command to send
+mail. However, on a typical desktop machine there may not be local SMTP
+daemon running (nor it is configured to send mail outside of the system). -->
+
+If setting up local `sendmail` or `msmtp` is not feasible or desirable,
+the Emacs `smtpmail` package can be used to send email by talking to remote
+SMTP server via TCP connection. It is pretty easy to configure:
+
+1. `M-x customize-group smtpmail`
+
+   as as minimum, 'Smtpmail Smtp Server' needs to be set.
+
+   - then continue with `M-x load-library message` and
+     `M-x customize-variable message-send-mail-function`
+     -- choose `message-smtpmail-send-it` for that.
+
+1. Set some variables in .emacs or in [notmuch init file](/notmuch-emacs#notmuch_init_file)
+
+      (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.server.tld" ;; <-- edit this !!!
+      ;; smtpmail-smtp-service 25 ;; 25 is default -- uncomment and edit if needed
+      ;; smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls
+      ;; smtpmail-debug-info t
+      ;; smtpmail-debug-verb t
+         message-send-mail-function 'message-smtpmail-send-it)
