Mutt + MTA (ssmtp/smail)
 

Hi all - I'm very desperated.

I can't get mutt (or my MTA ?) to run. For 2 weeks I try to find
help in documents and asked in two mailing lists.

I tried to run mutt with ssmtp or smail. Mutt tells me "Mail sent."
but then I get (with both MTAs) similar error messages (inside
mutt):
* /usr/sbin/ssmtp: no recipients supplied: no mail will be sent.
* Usage: smail [flags] address ...

It seems that mutt doesn't deliver the recipients address.

* How can I tell mutt to do this?
* How can I try to test my MTA directly and send a mail direct from
the MTA (smail or ssmtp) without MUA (working example)?
* What can I try else? - Who causes this error (mutt, MTA, myISP)?

I'm using mutt 0.91.2, ssmtp 2.27 resp. smail 3.2.0. (I couldn't /
don't want to upgrade my system - Debian 2.0).

My .muttrc:
set pop_user="..."
set pop_pass="..."
set pop_host="mail.uta4you.at"
set pop_delete
#set sendmail="/usr/sbin/ssmtp"
#set sendmail="/usr/sbin/smail"
set editor="/usr/bin/e3pi"

My ssmtp.conf:
root=postmaster
mailhub=mail.uta4you.at
hostname=sabine
FromLineOverride=YES

Thanks for ANY help and sorry for bothering you
Lea

PS: Fetching mails with mutt ("G") works fine.
