Could you please summarize how will this work?  smtpmail-send-it needs
the address of the SMTP server (and other parameters, like the port
and the credentials) to be configured, before it will work, doesn't
it?  Or is there some magic in the new code that somehow gleans that
automatically?

If the SMTP server address is to be supplied by the user, then
send-mail-function should remain set to mailclient-send-it on
MS-Windows.
