Sure but (correct me if I am wrong), this would only work on a system that has constant access to the network, right? I am guessing that mutt does not know, internally, how to queue messages so if you write an e-mail while you are offline it's not going to work.

I had missed Jeremy's response because I was not Cc-ed, so I am greatly thankful for having quoted it, thanks! Well, one more solution to consider, but certainly too many solutions is better than too few. > > > One option retaining exim4 is to use postfix as an outgoing mail gateway > > and forward to it from the exim4 instance. > > That also sounds like a debugging nightmare. I'd just pick one. Well, I can imagine myself combining exim4 and msmtp, but frankly, combining exim4 and postfix really feels overkill to me (responding to JEremy, here). Sébastien.
