No, that's precisely what it does *not* do. It calls a command-line
program, usually sendmail. While on most Internet-connected systems,
that command-line program will then send the message out over SMTP,
there's nothing guaranteeing that that's the case. Mutt, as should
every well-behaved Unix mail program, leaves transporting mail to the
mail transport.
