Using MacOSX 10.6.3
Mutt 1.5.20 (2009-06-14) compiled with the following:
--enable-smtp, --with-ssl, --enable-pop

I am trying to send mail to my ISP with the .muttrc setting:
set smtp_url=smtps://[email protected]@host144.hostmonster.com:465/
set smtp_pass=*******

The error mutt reports is:
Mutt error:
SMTP authentication requires SASL

I read in the man page for muttrc that if "smtp_authenticators" is "unset" (the 
default) mutt will try all available methods, in order from most-secure to 
least-secure.  But that doesn't seem to be happening.

I would like to try to set "smtp_authenticators" to "external" or some other 
options in ~/.muttrc, just to try different things, but I get an error:
Error in /Users/pjs1/.muttrc, line 22: smtp_authenticators: unknown variable
source: errors in /Users/pjs1/.muttrc.

I should mention that I can send to host144.hostmonster.com using the Apple 
mail.app, so I know the password and port numbers are correct.

Any suggestions?

Pete
