Sending messages error
Hi All
I decided that I wanted to step back from using debian unstable to stable
because of the large frequent downloads required to keep the system up-to-date.
But I'm having problems sending mail from my debian sarge system. I've tried
searching for the error and it seems that it' was common during 2004 for MS
Windows 2003. I couldn't find the fix for that platform either although, there
was discussion of it being a security issue. The user has many privillages
which include being added to the mail group etc. I've purged exim4 and reset
exim4 but still can't send mail. I can receive mail via fetchmail but just
don't understand what's going on. Can someone help?
Here's the error and debian's package entry:

Description: Text-based mailreader supporting MIME, GPG, PGP and threading
Mutt is a sophisticated text-based Mail User Agent. Some highlights:
o MIME support (including RFC1522 encoding/decoding of 8-bit message
headers and UTF-8 support).
o PGP/MIME support (RFC 2015).
o Advanced IMAP client supporting SSL encryption and SASL authentication.
o POP3 support.
o Mailbox threading (both strict and non-strict).
o Default keybindings are much like ELM.
o Keybindings are configurable; Mush and PINE-like ones are provided as
examples.
o Handles MMDF, MH and Maildir in addition to regular mbox format.
o Messages may be (indefinitely) postponed.
o Colour support.
o Highly configurable through easy but powerful rc file.
Task: mail-server
Well it seems to send from this debian sid system but I'd rather use the other
machine.
