I have had similar issues in the past with mutt -> exim4 on localhost -> smtp server, but I don't remember if it also affected posting to debian-user. I have always attributed these problems to spam blocking via IP blacklisting. Changing my mail configuration (see below) solved the issue for me. > Have you tried sending > directly from Mutt through your ISP's mail server?

To use, set $smtp_url to the address of your smtp relay, in the form: smtp[s]://[user[:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port]/ where port defaults to 25 for smtp and 465 for smtps. You can also set $smtp_authenticators to control which methods mutt will attempt to use during authentication. See $imap_authenticators for details. ----- Debian incorporated this feature in version 1.5.14+cvs20070301-1, so it is unfortunately not available in Etch. Backports.org has a new enough version of mutt, though. I always found msmtp very reliable to use with the pre-esmtp versions of mutt. The syntax of ~/.msmtprc is very straightforward, e.g.: tls on host smtp.example.com from [EMAIL PROTECTED] auth on user your_username password XXXXXXXXXX Then you only need set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" in your ~/.muttrc and you should be ready to go.
