In response to both David and Ralf, The original problem is that, when I use Mutt from the command line, it uses the LOCAL smtp server to send emails. I need the client to connect to a REMOTE smtp server, and as far as I understand from Simon, Mutt cannot be configured to connect to a remote SMTP server.
So now what I am looking for is a simple SMTP client that is as easy to use as Mutt, or, some alternative means of getting Mutt to talk to my remote smtp server. Any ideas?
