At the very least it allows us to see that the line
set smtp_url = "smtp://tonyb@myownsite.me:PASSWORDHERE@mail.myownsite.me:25"
looks sensible and correct. It also confirms that on the desktop you are
not using exim as the MTA but the MTA built into mutt. This MTA will
contact the MTA on myownsite.me (postfix), which will relay the mail.
You have an account with gmx.com; a mail sent to that account with the
line above unaltered might be expected to be recorded in postfix's logs.
Is it?
