Hi Tom,
welcome, again ;-)
Please, follow all these steps:
1) backup your muttrc config file
mv ~/.muttrc ~/muttttttrcbackup
2) It is difficult to debug your problem because
your muttrc has many lines.
Please, compose a new & simplified ~/.muttrc,
with ONLY these five lines:
------------------------------------
set from="Tom Fowle <wa6iv...@fastmail.fm>"
set mbox = "~/mbox"
set editor = joe
set smtp_url="smtps://wa6iv...@fastmail.fm@mail.messagingengine.com:465"
unset smtp_pass
-------------------------------------
Dont use $my_user/$my_pass/$my_smtp_server variables.
Dont put your password in muttrc: mutt will ask you to enter the password
manually. It will let us determinate where the problem is.
3) open muttrc with this command line:
mutt -F ~/.muttrc
4) send a message to someone. Use my own address, if you want
5) post your success or failures in this list.
PS: do you have a paid Fastmail account, or a free trial account?
Regards,
