Ah, it's making sense now. But is there a reason you need the ssh tunnel? Does it work if you set smtp_url=smtp://mailhub:25 instead? Don't get me wrong, I think there are never enough ssh tunnels in the world, but it might not be needed here. If the postfix server has TLS configured, and will accept the connection, mutt will take advantage of STARTTLS and the traffic will be encrypted. cheers, raf
