There is a Muttrc configuration option called 'sendmail', that specifies
the executable (and the appropriate options) that mutt calls for delivering
mail. Maybe you should check that - here's the excerpt from the Muttrc
manpage:
sendmail
Type: path
Default: "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"
Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by Mutt.
Mutt expects that the speci-
fied program interprets additional arguments as recipient addresses.
