Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.18-4
Severity: normal
I use 'set tunnel="ssh somewhere /my/imap/server"' to connect to IMAP
via SSH. This works great for IMAP, but it seems to prevent me from
using mutt to send mail via SMTP. I have
smtp_url=smtps://usern...@server/ , but when I tried to send mail mutt
opened the SSH tunnel and then printed an error message which started
with "SMTP session failed: * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 ...". That
strongly suggests that mutt attempted to use the SSH tunnel to my IMAP
server for SMTP, which won't work.
If mutt's "set tunnel" intentionally affects both IMAP and SMTP, I
don't see how that can possibly work (without some strange IMAP/SMTP
multiplexer), and it seems inconsistent with every piece of
documentation I've seen.

tunnel
Type: string
Default: “”
Setting this variable will cause mutt to open a pipe to a command instead of a raw
socket. You may be able to use this to set up preauthen-
ticated connections to your IMAP/POP3/SMTP server. Example:
set tunnel=”ssh -q mailhost.net /usr/local/libexec/imapd”
Note: For this example to work you must be able to log in to the remote machine
without having to enter a password.
