This is not actually a problem with mutt - your machine needs to identify itself as a machine with a valid DNS name (which resolves back to your current IP address) in order for many systems out there to accept email from it (forged hostnames are mostly used by spammers). If you are sending mail from an ISP, configure your mail transfer agent (e.g. sendmail) to relay mail through your ISP's mail gateway, which will take care of the problem. To find out how to do this, consult the sendmail documentation (e.g. www.sendmail.org).
