[thelist] [OT] Mutt and SMTP

[Burhan Khalid]

Greetings :

    Hoping someone here is familiar with Mutt.  I am trying to avoid 
using X as much as possible for my linux box, and I found that Mutt was 
a good email client. However, I'm having a few problems trying to 
configure it for multiple SMTP servers.

    It is my understanding that mutt doesn't do SMTP, but rather it just 
sends off the email to a service on the local host that is listening on 
25. Is this correct? If so, what MTA can I use so that I can configure 
it to send via smtp.work.com for emails that are coming from my work 
email address, and smtp.play.com for emails that are from my other email 
addresses?  For now, I'm using ssmtp -- but having a bit of a headache 
trying to get it to work.

    Upon searching the mutt-users mailing list, I found an interesting 
thread that stated in short that windows email clients (example given 
was for netscape mail) have their own built-in smtp server that just 
relays to the external smtp server ... is this true?

Thanks for any insights :)

   Looking for a good editor for PHP that
   provides "intellisense"-style code lookups
   (and is free)? Try SciTE ( http://www.scintilla.org )

   Works on both Windows and Linux (requires X)
