Have you checked my muttrc file ( I had sent it to you as an attachment ). Done
changes in your muttrc as per my muttrc file.
Specially the following lines
set hostname="mailsvr.goatelecom.com"
my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Rajesh Fowkar)
set sendmail=="/usr/bin/sendmail -t -oi -oem -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
In my /etc/sendmail.cf file I have just added the following :
DSmailsvr.goatelecom.com
This works for me.

Good thing to do under Linux.

For the last week or so the goatelecom server and the above name server appear to be
working quite well.
Correct me listers if I am wrong.
