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?
