    Sounds interesting. I do have this situation/problem. My ISP gives me
    SMTP AUTH to send messages. Configuring exim to use my mail id and
    password is getting the job done. But, that is fine on my home/single
    user machine. What if I want to use mutt to send mails with SMTP AUTH
    and I do not have the necessary previliges to set the MTA? Can I coax
    mutt to do that job? If so, how?

    Had not heard about it till now. Will have a look at it. But my needs
    are very modest, at best.
