Hmmm, okay, so, you're not *specifying* a return address. I suppose the question is: what should mutt be doing in this case?
Have you set the environment variable 'EMAIL'? I'm guessing not. I'm also guessing that you don't have a muttrc that sets $from to anything either. I think sendmail probably defaults to $USER @ $HOSTNAME, and I suppose mutt could do that too. But in any case you should be able to work around this by providing mutt with some more information.
In the spirit of "mutt should *never* crash, no matter what", we can easily make mutt default to a null return address here:
