Hi,
I was trying to use MUTT for recieving and sending emails from my mail server. I could configure MUTT to recieve my emails(through POP3) but I am unable to do so for sending them(through SMTP).
When I send email from MUTT it keeps displaying(infinitely) "Sending Message..." at the status bar. I then have to manually kill 'sendmail' to stop it. After killing sendmail MUTT says "Mail Sent".
Also when I send email using MUTT the From: field has the user id of my local account with which I login i.e. <root@>. I want the From: field to my have email address i.e. myself@mailserver.com.
Assume my mail configurations are:
smtp=mail.mailserver.com userid=user123 password=password123 from=myself@mailserver.com
NOTE:myself != user123 NOTE:I require authentication at mail.mailserver.com using userid and password.
How do I configure MUTT/Sendmail for sending emails using my smtp mail server?

You want to send mails logged in as root? Heh Grab a good .muttrc. http://linuxbrit.co.uk/downloads/ has a good one.
