Hi Suresh,

Below is a copy of a mail that I sent to a fellow mutt-user that was
returned because the mail supposedly was sent by
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This also happened to me with
redhat-install-list but that was understandable because while I was
using windows I was subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I shifted to
Linux and Mutt, I had set my from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and became an
unsubscribed entity to the list. But the transcript of the returned msg
was very similar.

About my other experience with mail.com when sending a msg to myself, I
tried it again and was able to send successfully which means that it was
probably a server problem at that time.  

Apparently the error stems from the fact that hgf3@localhost is trying
to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] which the remote MTA doesn't like (I think). So how
can I fix this? If I set_envelope_from=yes, it will still complain about
sendmail already using the -f option or something.
