I don't have that setting in my .muttrc
It is a compile time setting
What is the output of:
mutt -v | grep sendmail
for me it is:
SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
Did you compile mutt yourself?
Check your logs for any error messages.
I'm guessing that you need to use the smtp server of the isp you are
connected to. I don't think they'd throw your mail in the bit bucket.
They are probably rejecting it.
Which distribution are you using?
Can you rec mail?
I was sharing a computer using two ISP's. It was easy, with 'pppconfig'
to create two ISP accounts to use with 'pon' but I never got around to
figuring out how to automatically associate an smtp server for a given
pon command. (I cheated, and edited the appropriate field.) I'm guessing
that is at least one of your problems.
Also, unfortunately, this is not the list to discuss postfix. There is a
... ta daaaah! ... yup you guessed it ... a ... postfix-users mailing
list. Well, I presume it still exists.
