Thanks for the responses, Here's what I think I've learned (please correct me):
1) Mutt doesn't have any SMTP code (although oddly it appears that the Windows very does??) 2) sendmail/postfix/qmail/exim - full blown mail servers that for my single workstation seems a bit overblown. They also appear to like having a 'real' domain names to work with. 3) gui apps that require XFree86 like Kmail/Sylpheed that do pop/imap reading, and smtp/auth sending. Perfect if I run a Gui. 4) some simple daemons that do smtp like nullmailer, but do not do smtp/auth. (There's an open invitation to add that to nullmailer (if you're good at C++) on their mailing list). Has anyone run into a similar roadblock trying to Mutt without postfix/sendmail?
