Just double checking that at one point you were? This only works for paid
accounts according to this page

https://www.fastmail.com/help/technical/servernamesandports.html

which also gives all the server info and other requirements.

I don't use this format but maybe it's ok. I set smtp_pass and
smtp_url=smtps://m...@my.mail.com 

I wonder if the variables get resolved inside the quotes but if not that
might explain why it goes to fastmail, falling back to your email addy.

Try using

set smtp_url =smtps://$my_user:$my_pass@$my_smtp_server:465

without the quotes instead.

It does sound suspicious that it's trying to resolve fastmail.fm. I just
pinged mail.messagingengine.com and it responds from
mail.messagingengine.com.  So I suspect a config problem.
