Yes - sorry, this dawned on me only after I sent the previous email. I
was so focussed on the fact that I had just installed the SSL
certificate that I was convinced that that must be the problem.
I send mail through two different smtp servers. I have the following
in .muttrc: (mind the line-wrap)
##########################################################
# MAIL SENDING
##########################################################
#set sendmail= /usr/bin/msmtp
#set sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail
# (No longer used)
#Send Mail Through MyISP:
#set smtp_url=smtp://smtp.myisp.co.uk
#Send Mail Through GMail:
set
smtp_url='smtp://mygmailname:mygmailpassword@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:587/'
###########################################################
###########################################################
# Send Hooks
###########################################################
# This one ensures that all mail to the Mutt-users mailing list is sent
by "MT Lists"
send-hook '~C @mutt.org' 'my_hdr From: Arthur Dent
<mt.list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>'
send-hook '~C @mutt.org' 'set pgp_sign_as=FDE78872'
send-hook '~C @mutt.org' 'set smtp_url=smtp://smtp.myisp.co.uk'
# + Other similar send hooks using one or other of the two smtp servers
Thanks for your help so far, much appreciated...
