gnus is a MUA, with MTA ability added with something like smtp.el. It's not as featureful and powerful as the sendmail program of course. If you put a simple MTA on your machine (nullmailer, esmtp,ssmtp,nbsmtp, or configure exim4 or postfix to act as satellite MTAs) you'll probably have a better time of it. That MTA also receives the mail for you if you have local delivery. AFAIK gnus cannot deliver mail to you, but needs a backend (calling fetchmail, for instance).
