-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Garrett, If you want to stick with sendmail to direct mutt mail to your ISP's smtp server, the steps are actually quite simple. Do this: As root: Open the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf with a text editor you know how to use; Find a line with only two characters on it, "DS" (in caps); Add the name of your ISP's smpt server to that line immediately after the "S", no spaces; Close the file, saving the changes; Then, still as root, restart the sendmail daemon by typing this at a prompt: /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail restart That will do the trick. But you have to ask mutt to strip off your host name, and I cannot help you with that, since I am a (happy) Pine user. Chuck On Sat, 17 Jan 2004, Garrett Klein wrote: > Here's the big thing though...
