I can not use 'mail' to send to remote users, now.
mutt isn't working with local or remote, but even sending to a local
user, it's got to go through the remote SMTP server, no? and that's the
problem, at least, somewhere in getting mail to/through a remote SMTP
server (and I've ruled out problem at the remote SMTP server end,
definitely at my end).

User mutt without my .muttrc?
Ah, okay, I did that, and I CAN mail to a local user,
but mailing to a remote user without my rc file does not work:
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
tonyb@myownsite.me
Mailing to remote domains not supported
