You can use Msmtp with Mutt.  Msmtp is a kind of a ``plugin'' that
allows a program like Mutt to send mail, eliminating the need for a
full-fledged mail server like Exim.


Thanks Yawar,

I apt-installed msmtp and tried to configure it (./configure, make, make install).
Unfortunately, I received the message

configure: error: neither GnuTLS nor OpenSSL found.

However, 'apt-get install openssl' tells me it is the newest version.

Tux:/# find -name openssl -print ./home/doc/openssl
./home/share/doc/openssl
./usr/bin/openssl
./usr/share/doc/openssl

'apt-get install gnutls' told me it could not be found.

Trying to install it, I discovered it needed libcrypt 1.1.12 (or zlib), libtasn 0.1.x, and opencdk 0.5.1 ... I installed all of them, but my system still told me GnuTLS could not be found.

I decided to stick with exim2 ...

What did I miss here ?
