I'm persuaded by Curt and what you write to believe that your smtp
transport is provided by mutt and not exim. Furthermore, you say that
your desktop and myownsite.me have identical mutts and mutt configs.
Wouldn't this imply the problem on the desktop lies outside mutt and
in some other machine configuration?
There is probably a good reason for you to use mutt's native smtp
support but you could consider using exim to sidestep the issue.
