Re: Mutt questions

Ummm, your SMTP address is a static address provided by your ISP for
you to send mail.  it should be something like main.isp.com, or
smtp.ispname.com.  Check your ISP's website for this information.
Your IP and hostname will be different on each dialup, but not your
SMTP server.
