Not likely. The way mutt is calling sendmail, sendmail thinks ALL users are
local. So the mails are somewhere (dev/null maybe). If not, maybe Doc
Pavri will see a lot of bounces in his postmaster (root) mailbox after a few
days (delivery failed ...).
If he invokes sendmail explicitly *using sendmail -t -oi -oem -f
[EMAIL PROTECTED]* his problem will be solved IMHO. I tried using
envelope from on my box - it didn't work, so I reverted to explicitly
calling sendmail.
