I opted to install msmtp, and it did just what I hoped it would do, working perfectly out of the box, including TLS. But now...I can't receive mail. As you recall from my first post I indicated that I could receive email, using mutt and getmail, and indeed I can, on my laptop, which was set up by someone who knew what they were doing. The computer in question is a desktop with a virgin installation of FreeBSD 7.0. I obviously spoke too soon. I have mutt and getmail installed, and now I can send from that computer, but when I try to receive I get error messages (maillog) saying, among other things: DSN:Data format error Invalid hostname stat=User unknown savemail panic savemail cannot save rejected email anywhere I have a feeling that this is a no brainer, probably related to what is or isn't stated in my rc.conf. But my newbieness has me on the ropes once again. Any help would once again be appreciated. Rem
