hello, i was surprised to read that mutt can handle smtp-sending on its own now. because i also had to fiddle with msmtp (which is rather simple).

But using "apt-get install mutt" exim4 was installed automatically with mutt on my sytem. i was using exim after quite an effort to configure it for weeks until i noticed that there were subtle authentifaction issues and *some* of my outgoing mail was refused by the smtp-server with my exim4 seemingly freezing the bounces so that i never got a hint of there being a problem. I switched to msmtp and now it works. everything would have been a lot simpler had i known about mutts smtp feature. what should I learn from this? better building mutt from the source? jan
