Description of problem, how reproducible and steps to Reproduce: If I write with mutt an e-mail and send that over my local (maybe official) sendmail/postfix mail server and the receiver looks into the header of my mail, he sees among other things the following: --- snipp --- From localuser Tue Oct 28 10:02:50 2003 [...] From: My Name <me> [...] --- snapp --- The first line is caused by the problem, that mutt isn't able to handle esmtp/smtp-auth correct. In a *correct* mail header it should look like that: --- snipp --- From me Tue Oct 28 10:02:50 2003 [...] From: My Name <me> [...] --- snapp --- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutt-1.4.1-4 Actual results: That problem can be solved with using esmtp (http://esmtp.sourceforge.net). Expected results: esmtp should be added as rpm to Fedora Core. Additional info: I add my own build esmtp-src.rpm to that bugzilla report - maybe the rpm can be added to Fedora Core?
Created attachment 95553 [details] My esmtp src.rpm This is the rpm you can use to solve that problem with mutt.
I don't think we'll fix esmtp/smtp-auth problems in mutt by adding another MTA.
In my opinion that's very bummer. These 50 KB more would solve the problem and it wouldn't be a tragic storage-technically problem, probably. Another suggestion would be a patch for mutt: http://www.deez.info/sengelha/projects/mutt/libesmtp/ - that's a patch for mutt, that gives mutt native libESMTP support. But it's still the same way to solve the problem.
At this point, we aren't going to add feature patches to mutt that aren't upstream.
