I did this.  Mutt claims to send  my mail (in other words  it does not
complain),  but  the mail  is  never sent.  I  don't  see anything  in
/var/spool/mqueue, though  perhaps I shouldn't. Maybe  someone who has
this working  can just send me  the relevant config  files, for either
exim  or   any  other  MTA  (though  preferably   not  the  gargantuan
sendmail). It would really be nice to be able to send mail, sigh..
