Ther is a way, but it is a bit indirect. I habe this line in my .muttrc set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem -t -C/home/paulcol/.mutt.cf" The .mutt.cf file has my ISP's mail server set as a smart host. IIRC you also have to set yourself as a trusted user. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/~paulcol Asking for technical help in newsgroups?
