I always thought that it's the MTA's work to support SMTP, and installed Sendmail to do the dirty job of forwarding mail to my ISP. Why would you want to have Mutt doing this? It's a MUA (mail user agent). In other words, why dont you install Sendmail/qmail/Postfix/whatever to do the SMTP talking to your ISP, and have Mutt send the messages to their destination through the local queue? --giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
