You'll need to set up the authentication for msmtp. Snippet from msmtprc:
defaults account david-email host mx1.dreamhost.com port 25 protocol smtp auth on user youru...@fake.domain.com password yoursecretpassword On Mon, Sep 05, 2022 at 03:49:59PM -0500, David Bryant wrote:
Hi. I'm new to this group. I'm looking for some help. I recently built a Linux from Scratch system. I don't have any kind of graphical interface set up there yet. I would like to use mutt to send and receive email using a tty terminal. Mainyly for educational purposes. I'm composing this message with KMail2, on a Gentoo system. I have built mutt from the tarball, and I've done some configuration stuff. In particular, I set up msmtp as my SMTP server locally. That looked like it's easier to configure than sendmail is. I believe I got all the necessary configuration variables set correctly. But I can't send email. Everything goes fine until I'm ready to send an email message. I say "y" to send the message, and mutt replies "Error sending message, child exited 65 (Data format error)" msmtp issues three error messages: msmtp: recipient address da...@davidcbryant.net not accepted by the server msmtp: server message 554 5.7.1 <da...@davidcbryant.net> Recipient address rejected. Access denied. msmtp could not send mail (account default from /home/dbryant/.msmtprc) Any idea how I can get around this? I tried sending messages without going through an external server, and that didn't seem to work either. Oh -- here's the message from the "postponed" file. ========================================================= Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2022 18:26:53 +0000 From: David Bryant <da...@davidcbryant.net> To: da...@davidcbryant.net Cc: davidbry...@gvtc.com Subject: This is a test Message-ID: <YxPCS/7HG8FBnCfZ@localhost.localdomain> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline X-Mutt-Fcc: ~/sent This is a test.
