I'm pretty sure that "mutt" invokes sendmail (or a "sendmail" lookalike provided with exim) at the command line to send messages. Depending on how you built nmh, it either makes a connection to port 25, or it starts "sendmail -bs" at the command line. The latter might not work with exim. You could try a test message directly with nmh (or mh if you are using that). At the "whatnow" prompt, use send -snoop -watch -verbose Perhaps the output will tell you what is going wrong. -NWR
