Thanks for looking at this.
I don't explicitly specify a from address when I use that same mutt
binary interactively, as I'm doing now, and it sends mail fine
interactively.
I tried the following three methods of specifying my from address.
1.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] echo test | mutt -s test garyjohn
2.
export [EMAIL PROTECTED]
echo test | mutt -s test garyjohn
3.
echo test | mutt -s test -e "set [EMAIL PROTECTED]" garyjohn
All failed as before.
Regards,
Gary
