mutt will by default pipe its message to /usr/lib/sendmail (?)
and that will send the mail to the smtp server or whatever.
I have ssmtp and a smtpd server i made, so ssmtp (which has
/usr/lib/sendmail and /usr/sbin/ssmtp i think) sends the smtp
data to my mail host which is localhost and my smtpd sends it to my
smarthost.
