+Does your @acronym{ISP} require the @acronym{POP}-before-@acronym{SMTP}
+authentication?  It is whether you need to connect to the @acronym{POP}
+mail server within a certain time before sending mails.  If so, there is
+a convenient way.  To do that, put the following lines in your
+@file{~/.gnus.el} file:
+
+@lisp
+(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-smtpmail-send-it)
+(add-hook 'message-send-mail-hook 'mail-source-touch-pop)
+@end lisp
+
+@noindent
+It means to let Gnus connect to the @acronym{POP} mail server in advance
+whenever you send a mail.  The @code{mail-source-touch-pop} function
+does only a @acronym{POP} authentication according to the value of
+@code{mail-sources} without fetching mails, just before sending a mail.
+Note that you have to use @code{message-smtpmail-send-it} which runs
+@code{message-send-mail-hook} rather than @code{smtpmail-send-it} and
+set the value of @code{mail-sources} for a @acronym{POP} connection
+(@pxref{Mail Sources}) correctly.
