Solutions are :
o remote-login to the system and work from there
(if your link is fast enough then you can use X-over-ssh if
you dislike mutt so much)
o SMTP AUTH
configure the SMTP server to handle the "AUTH" extension
(defined in RFC 2821, IIRC) to allow arbitrary hosts to
authenticate and thus be allowed to relay.
o POP-before-SMTP
another authentication mechanism whereby the server requires
you to first access your POP box (and authenticate) and then
assumes that, for a short while, that same IP is still you
and will allow SMTP relaying
(I don't like this idea)
