Actually Emmanuel is saying the opposite, namely that
`send-mail-function' is somehow undefined until restarting
Emacs.  My issue with this is that `send-mail-function'
should always be defined as either `sendmail-send-it' or
`sendmail-query-once' when starting Emacs with the -Q flag,
in all versions of Emacs until at least as far back as 23.
Perhaps some custom configuration code or package is
misbehaving?
