Mail configuration for Mutt
 
I'm trying to use Mutt, but when I try to send a message, it gets bounced back telling me that the domain of localhost.localdomain is not valid.

I have no problem sending from Pine, though.

Where is the configuration file for the mail settings?

Thanks,
Phil

What MTA are you using? If sendmail, make sure you configure for "smart host". Here is the file I used to configure mine:
Code:
divert(-1)
dnl This is the macro config file used to generate sendmail.cf
dnl file. If you modify this file you will have to regenerate
dnl sendmail.cf by running this macro config through the m4
dnl preprocessor:
dnl
dnl        m4 /home/phil/Documents/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf <--Change to your path
dnl
dnl You will need to have the sendmail-cf RPM installed for this
dnl to work, if you use an rpm build of sendmail
dnl
dnl include(`../m4/cf.m4')
dnl
dnl If you compile sendmail from a tarball, use the include above.
dnl In this setup, you should create the file as cf/cf/config.mc
dnl (in the sendmail source tree: eg. /usr/src/sendmail-8.11.6/cf/cf
dnl Now give the command "sh Build config.cf".  Now copy the file
dnl config.cf as /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (please backup first!)
dnl
dnl If you are using the RPM build of sendmail, use the
dnl include statement given below instead
dnl
include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')
