I need help reconfiguring Mutt to work with msmtp
This email is being sent from a different email account than the one
using Mutt/msmtp, so don't examine it's metadata to diagnose the problem.
I want to send email from pecondon@mesanetworks.net and I have generated
a test email in Mutt (using Emacs). The test email is addressed
To: pec11xx@gmail.com
The lines in muttrc for outgoing email are:
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set use_from=yes
set realname="Paul E Condon"
set from="pecondon@mesanetworks.net"
set envelope_from=yes
The contents of .msmtprc are:
account default
host smtp.everyone.net
from pecondon@mesanetworks.net
#tls on
#disable tls_certcheck
auth off
user pecondon@mesanetworks.net
#password xxxxx
The error messages from Mutt when I press 'y' to send, are;
Error sending message, child exited 65 (Data format error.).
msmtp: recipient address pec11xx@gmail.com not accepted by the server
msmtp: server message: 550 Recipient Rejected: Relay not allowed
msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /home/pec/.msmtprc)
I am deliberately setting 'auth off', because after much painful
investigation, I have determined that my ISP does NOT accept encrypted
passwords. The email that I am attempting to send is (from the postponed
file):
From pecondon@mesanetworks.net Tue Jun 18 21:30:25 2013
From: Paul E Condon <pecondon@mesanetworks.net>
To: paul e condon <pec11xx@gmail.com>

It is a reply to a previous email from pec11xx@gmail.com that proved
that I can receive emails to pecondon@mesanetworks.net using fetchmail.
What is the claimed "Data format error." ???
Is there something else than .muttrc and .msmtprc that must be configured?
Thanks for any help.
Paul
