oh, please, for the sake of everybody's sanity, do wrap your lines around 65 or so characters. this was, on the fateful occasion around Oct 03 09:41 -0400, sent by peter@spirit.lib.umt.edu > > OK, I'm taking the plunge. I'm learning mutt. welcome to the club. > I'm trying to figure out how to send e-mail through an SMTP server > with mutt (other than my own)... as others have suggested, that's the function of a MTA. both sendmail and postfix have options to define a relay smtp server. > ...be able to set the return address to something other than > username@mymachine.on.the.dialup. along w/ previous suggestions of "my_hdr" setting, you may also want to sepcify "canonical sender" option (postfix) in case mutt fails to specify the correct address. it had been happened to me at least 4-5 times & sent mail from various invalid addresses (depending on hostname, mydomain & myhost variables (postfix), 'Dj' macro (sendmail)). i will be damned if i could get a reply at any of those addresses. -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
