more details would help, but... Have you set your From: and possibly
your Envelope_From in .muttrc? That was the trickiest bit I had in my
config. Even setting From and Envelope From wasn't enough, though, I had
to get Exim to let me send those out without rewriting too. send us the
bounced mail...

I have no from and envelop_from setting in my .muttrc. What is envelop-from and what should I set it to, my gmail address?
