Right now I can specify the credentials to use in passwd.client but that only allows one credential per server so far as I can see (e.g. *.rogers.com:a...@rogers.com:mypasswd *.yahoo.com:my.yahoo.com:mypassword I'm not sure if setting my_hdr from: would allow that or interfere with the various set from = settings I'm using to get the e-mail to go at all. I think maybe what you want is msmtp. It can coexist with exim4. It is similar in principle to the built-in SMTP capabilities of Icedove, for example. If you want to use mutt to send messages from multiple accounts, then I think msmtp is the way to go. Each user can have his own config, each with multiple accounts. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
