Hi,
  If I send mail from my linux box at home to work, the sendmail there
returns my message complaining that the sending domain must exist.  Fair
enough, I edited my .muttrc so the From line is forged to my work
address.  That's what I'm used to doing in emacs-vm, and its always worked
fine for me.  With Mutt that doesn't appear to be enough, because the mail
comes back.

Here's the bounce text (names changed to protect the innocent):
