I have a system with a working MTA. When I updated to the latest emacs
and started gnus I got the following message:
Sending mail from Emacs hasn't been set up yet.
Type `y' to configure outgoing SMTP, or `n' to use
the default mail sender on your system.
To change this again at a later date, customize the
`send-mail-function' variable.
Configure outgoing SMTP in Emacs?
I typed `n', and everything continued working with sendmail in the way I
was used to. This may not be the case you are worried about, but I
thought I'd let you know that I, at least, was not inconvenienced by
this change.
