I thought that should have worked. But I think that here lies the real problem. I just changed that line to read `trusted_users = mail : santanu', and tried to send a mail to my other email account using mutt. Now, things are working perfectly. Thanks for reminding me about the trusted_users variable. But I still don't understand why the earlier line did not work. > That, and the lines - > > hosts_require_auth = smtp.softhome.net > hosts_try_auth = smtp.softhome.net > Instead of those lines I have these: remote_smtp: driver = smtp authenticate_hosts = smtp.softhome.net end This also seems to work.
