One way to get what you want is to use esmtp: # muttrc set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp" # esmtprc identity = u...@ho.st hostname = smtp.ho.st:587 username = u...@ho.st password = password starttls = enabled message_id = disabled # man esmtprc message_id Whether to set the Message-ID field of the message before sending. Normally the receiving MTA sets the Message-ID if missing, so you can turn this off if your sending host does not have a fully qualified domain name. Allowed values are either enabled or disabled. It defaults to enabled. regards, s h e h u
