Because, as y'all keep saying, mutt doesn't send email or talk to SMTP
servers. It hands messages to sendmail.

I also use a perl script for this, and point mutt at it as the sendmail
tool. It's especially handy on "disconnected" home machines which have
net connections but not net-aware local mail systems; you can then just
replace the sendmail with something that delivers, for example, to the
host named by your $SMTPSERVER variable.

I have other reasons too, but the above is a good one for some setups.

Achilles, a PHD student, had to choose between having a passionate but poor

Legend has it that he chose poverty.
