That sounds like a problem at Yahoo: maybe someone else can help there. |

You need to have something to actually send mails from Mutt, |
| 14 |
but Ssmtp should be adequate for an ordinary desktop system. |
| 15 |
First, 'emerge ssmtp' & edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf to taste, |
| 16 |
then specify it in ~/.muttrc : |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/ssmtp" |
