If you cannot send emails via SMTP from http://hcoop.net/ getting a message saying `relaying denied', this is probably caused by the absence of starttls on your system.
If you don't have starttls emacs will use gnutls-cli to authenticate and it will not authenticate properly against hcoop.net's SMTP server.
Install starttls.
For Debian systems:
| # aptitude install starttls |
For Sabayon, i.e. Gentoo system, I was successfull in compiling the Debian starttls package, and installing it with http://kumatux.org/
After this you'll be able to send SMTP email.
