I am using Mutt that delivers to Postfix, that relays thru my ISP's SMTP server thru a NAT firewall (Source Forge won't accept mail directly from dynamic IP addresses). This works fine. However, my Postfix setup will accept connections from the outside world, but the sender domain must resolve (one of my anti-spam measures). So Mutt isn't the problem, it's probably an unreachable initiating SMTP server. I agree Mutt is great for dealing with masses of mailing lists.
