Update:
Javin,
I hope I assembled the openssl test into an ssh script
the result ended with (about)
return code 0 O.K.
so, it appears I do have proper ssl connection with fastmail, now I
guess
back to why my .muttrc doesn't send.
Guess I'll try setting up msmtp with example provided here.
thanks all
