using non-local smtp server?

[Jeff Turner]

Hi,

Is there any way to configure mutt to send mail through a non-local SMTP
server?

Yes, I've read the FAQ entry saying "this ain't mutt's job", but.. all mutt
does is send mail to *some* SMTP server. Why must that be localhost:25, instead
of anotherhost:25? I'm not asking mutt to do the job of a MTA; I just want it to
talk to the MTA of my choice.

I'd appreciate it if someone could explain the error in my thinking. 

thanks,

--Jeff
