I made the correction to the smtp_url entry and tried it both with and without the USER:PASSWORD. In both cases the url was accepted but then timed out. Mutt never asked for the user or passwork when this was omitted. Frustrating, it seems this should work. I commented out the url line and made the additions suggested by Andrei. These did work and I am sending this from mutt. Tom > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
