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.
