Re: Mutt stopped sending emails
Sorry, kind of new with Mutt, I got is working and didn't really explore
much further. What is MTA? When I run mutt -version, this is the
output I get:

My /c/cygwin/var/log directory doesn't have a mail.log file. My
.muttrc file is as follows:
$ more .muttrc
set realname = "Jerome Fong"
set from = "jfong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
# set alternates = 'user@(first|second)\.org'
set spoolfile = "~/Mail/inbox"
set folder = "~/Mail"
set mbox = "+received"
set record = "+sent"
# set pop_host = "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
# set pop_user = "ulferikson"
# set pop_pass = ""
set sendmail = "/usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe"
set editor = vim \\+set textwidth=70\\
Hopefully, this is helpful.
Thanks,
Jerome

What version of mutt are you using? Are you using a MTA like sendmail or
postfix to relay the mails or are you using the one that's built-in to
mutt in the most recent versions? What's the relevant mta configuration
in your .muttrc? If you're using a MTA, what does /var/log/mail.log say?
We need more information to start looking?
