I know it has been a while - but I just wanted to add that after migrating
from exim to msmtp, I have a mutt & msmtp configuration that I am quite happy
with. The only very minor downside of msmtp that I noticed is that it 'seems'
slightly slower than exim at sending mails, but its not noticable enough to
be of any inconvenience (to me anyway). Thanks for pointing me towards msmtp
Steve!
