Well I think I've cracked the problem for myself (but I've not
corrected it yet as you can see). You might try putting set hostname
in your .muttrc, but if you look at the mutt manual entry for this
variable, you'll see that in its absence, mutt gets the domain name
from /etc/resolv.conf . The relevant line is
search . open ac uk
domain open.ac.uk
oops, and there's my problem. Who wrote that?!
Anyway, see if you've got search softhome.net
in your /etc/resolv.conf and, if that's correct for you,
add whatever you want in .muttrc .
But be warned, sindominio.net does not resolve for me (and
hasn't all day).
Cheers,
