Yes, I get 220 potty.co-ho.net ESMTP Exim 4.34 Tue, 23 Nov 2004 22:27:09 +0000> > > When you say "Sending mail normally from command line functions > correctly", what exactly do you mean?

No, I can do 'mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it is sent, arrives normally, and appears in the exim4 mainlog, thus: 2004-11-23 22:30:18 1CWjAv-0005AL-U4 => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.onetel.net [212.67.120.126] But when I composed this reply in mutt (actually it's vim that is opened in mutt), and tried to send it, nothing happened, and nothing showed up in the exim log. Should there be a setting in the /etc/Muttrc or ~/.muttrc that should specify how to send? I grepped for 'exim' in both and found nothing. So I am sending this again from squirrelmail. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
