Hello,
I don't know msmtp, but suppose the following: spymac.com is using a
standard SMTP server and requires you to authenticate yourself before
you are allowed to send mail, maybe even with using SSL encryption.
Sylpheed does the Right Thing if you configure it for "auto". Try to use
other methods beside "plain" and "login" in msmtp, or go for some other
MTA, see for example:

BTW: the MuttWiki is really growing fast in the last weeks, mainly due
to folks on #mutt (freenode.net). So if you've got some time to spare,
contribute!
