You mentioned you can send via other MUAs, pine, etc, so I am inclined to think that your SMTP auth is set up properly in Sendmail... 2. Given this, I still think it could be a Mutt problem.. I think you are getting a null Auth return because Mutt is not sending your password in order to auth the SMTP transaction, and it is getting bounced. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this for SMTP in mutt, but only for IMAPS. Perhaps the Mutt list can help.. the only other thing I can think of, to rule out Sendmail as a cause, is to log the entire SMTP transaction, say using Pine and Mutt with your problem server. Good luck... -- Gary
