Getting gnus to send email

Problem when sending mail from cvs gnus/emacs in a fresh ubuntu 8.04 installation:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Sending failed; SMTP protocol error")
  signal(error ("Sending failed; SMTP protocol error"))
  error("Sending failed; SMTP protocol error")
  smtpmail-send-it()
  message-send-mail(nil)
  message-send-via-mail(nil)
  message-send(nil)
  message-send-and-exit(nil)
  call-interactively(message-send-and-exit nil nil)

Solution:

sudo apt-get install starttls
