Does not seem like a mutt problem.
It could be a problem with your sendmail or postfix setup. Can you
fetch mail with other mail clients?
Do you use fetchmail to get the mail? What is the output of fetchmail
-vv?
It could also be that your ISP's mail server is down for a period.
Or it could be a problem with your network, router or DNS setup.
