Hi,

Could not send the message.
I have needed some days to understand your problem.
All we need read carefully the error:
smtp_user: unknown variable
After reading manual pages of both stable and devel mutt releases:
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html
http://www.mutt.org/doc/devel/manual.html
we can see that both
imap_user
pop_user
are valid variables, BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT
smtp_user
is_not_a_valid_variable!.
Please use both email address and SMTP server combined in one line,
something like:
set smtp_url="smtps://myusern...@dalekelly.org@smtpout.secureserver.net:465"
set smtp_pass="MYPASSWORD"

new errors! thanks much
tried this with a fresh install of my ubuntu version mutt 1.5.21-6.4ubuntu2
(I uninstall the dev, and the old ubuntu one, first)
I get no errors with
echo "Test" | /usr/bin/mutt -s Hello d...@dalekelly.org
(and other emails tried)
but no emails received
if I use the mutt terminal interface I get
SMTP session failed: 550 <dale@dale-w3653> Sender Rejected - MAIL FROM
must be a valid domain
added
set realname="Dale"
set from="d...@dalekelly.org"
and get
SMTP session failed: 550 <d...@dale-w3653.hsd1.pa.comcast.net> Sender
Rejected - MAIL FROM must be a valid domain
when I install Mutt from the Ubuntu Software Center it says it has ESMTP
support and not SMTP
the Ubuntu wiki for Mutt says mutt needs an MTA and is Postfix by
default, then goes on with SSMTP instructions
isn't sendmail a MTA?
I know I can't use sendmail with my ISP
again, Thunderbird works in both SSL/TLS and no SSL/TLS
maybe I will have to try the dev version, 1.5.23
it has documentation of SMTP without mention of MTA
