How to set SMTP server for mutt?
I have different POP and SMTP servers.

As far as I know, mutt expects to pipe its output to a program,
sendmail by default.  The default value in my ~/.muttrc file is:

set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -oi"

Looking at the ``man muttrc'', I didn't see any references to
SMTP delivery.  If I didn't have a working sendmail interface, I
would write a python or perl script that would handle the SMTP
delivery, and pipe to that.


This really isn't a freebsd issue at all... You can ask in #mutt on freenode or try to google for mutt smtp. There are many ways to configure mutt to work with multiple pop and/ or imap accounts. There are also sample configs (.muttrc files) on the mutt wiki. Actually you should google before you ask for help in #mutt because they'll just tell you "check the wiki" ;)

FWIW, I use msmtp to handle the sending of mail, it's a very small smtp server that only functions as a forwarder to external smtp servers (like your ISP's for example). There are also available docs for using msmtp with mutt, including how to set up .msmtprc and .muttrc.

One last note, if you want to read & send your gmail with mutt/ fetchmail/msmtp you need either mutt-ng or the latest snapshot of mutt (took me a lot of searching to figure that out)

Good luck :)
