I am a running a minimalist setup with FreeBSD 7.0. I would like to be

isn't configured for that, and I'm in the dark as how to accomplish it.
Is there somewhere that I can go for info on setting up a simple
configuration which will let me send mail from Mutt? Sendmail, which of
course is included with FreeBSd, seems kind of nightmarish.
Probably you only have to type
sendmail_enable="YES"
into your /etc/rc.conf and reboot.
Greetings,
Uli.
At any
rate, this is a personal system, and I would like the simplest setup I can
get to work. Any info would be much appreciated.

Well, I have had sendmail enabled, but my outgoing mail gets
bounced with a message saying that Comcast has blocked the process. I
have the feeling that there is a problem with how I am supposed to use
my hostname. When I run hostname -r I get .hsd1.ca.comcast.net. As you
can tell, I am a relative newbie, and not very well versed in all of
these things. But I love the process of trying to get it figured out.
Rem
I don't know mutt, but I guess you should be able to set
Comcast's SMTP server somewhere. And: do you need some kind of
authentification for it?
Uli.
