I did this. Mutt claims to send my mail (in other words it does not complain), but the mail is never sent. I don't see anything in /var/spool/mqueue, though perhaps I shouldn't. Maybe someone who has this working can just send me the relevant config files, for either exim or any other MTA (though preferably not the gargantuan sendmail). It would really be nice to be able to send mail, sigh.. chris
