mutt does not send. It is strictly a Mail User Agent (MUA). You will have to setup a Mail Transort Agent (MTA) in conjunction with mutt. There are some relay only MTAs out there that you can use, but I would recommend using something like Postfix. It has excellent documentation and is relatively painless to configure for stand-alone systems. You will also need something to get your mail if you use a POP server. Fetchmail with Procmail is a common setup for this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
