Just setting up a local version of msmtp (that is, in your home directory) and telling mutt where "sendmail" is should get the job done. I didn't know, BTW, that exim could use SMTP AUTH. Thanks for pointing that out. Which version of exim are you using? exim or exim4? > Had not heard about it till now. Will have a look at it. But my needs are > very modest, at best. I think that msmtp is indeed more suited for those with modest needs, instead of those that need a full MTA (which, in my case, is qmail plus some patches).
