One idea: 6.3.198. sendmail Type: path Default: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by Mutt. Mutt expects that the specified program interprets additional arguments as recipient addresses. -- John

I've seen pine before; it (thinks it) can speak SMTP, so it is likely not taking the same execution path through your system. mutt does what any sensible program would do an simply pipes into /usr/sbin/sendmail.

I've got the GPG working nicely now, I just need to 1) be able to send, and 2) somehow not have to manually delete this stupid blank line(s) that keeps appearing in /var/mail/jbmaxson (causing not a valid mailbox-type errors).
