I have looked back in the list archives and others seem to have had this problem but I see no resolution.
I am using mutt on a corporate network where both I and the SMTP server are behind a firewall. Thus there is no authentication for the SMTP server (you may or may not agree with this but it's the way it is, I can't change it). Is there no way to tell mutt that no sort of authentication is required? Alternatively I could use an external authenticated SMTP server but then (presumably) I need to build mutt with SASL and some other bits, can someone clarify what exactly is required please. This is on a bog standard Fedora 7 system, I do have root access and have (obviously!) already built mutt 1.5.16 so another build or two is not beyond me. -- Chris Green
