The route exists, and it's by Postfix package in the system I use. Also, I tried sending email to myself, and checked the full headers. It does have the TLS thing you mention BTW, but on the other hand it has "User-Agent: Mutt 1.10.1"... Also, Mutt does not say additional stuff or command line output (just exit code '0') when sending email... I'm trying to use Mutt with external MTA/SMTP (Postfix in this case), as the correct way intended, instead of Mutt's builtin SMTP. Am I failing? If so, why?
By the way, in Mutt default pager for reading emails, your words between underscores '_' (_not_, _may_, etc...) are not being displayed...

If sending email from the webmail, I'm sure it gets send from the email address account/SMTP. Same if sending from the popular "official" email clients (Outlook, Thunderbird...)

Evidently just doing "any" activity in Mutt does not refresh/fetch new email...
