Well.... msmtp is an SMTP client.

With your configuration you're sending the message to the SMTP server at smtp.blueyonder.co.uk for processing. So, the logs of what then happened would be on that machine. Which, I'm guessing, you don't have access to.

Basically, your message was sent out from your system.....but what happened to it is unknown.

You can test msmtp without using a configuration file by creating a "message" and then doing something like....

cat message | /usr/bin/msmtp --host=smtp.blueyonder.co.uk -f you@whatever.com towho@someplace.com

Correct...

Ha! That works! (Well sort of)...
I used the command:
cat message | /usr/bin/msmtp --host=smtp.blueyonder.co.uk -f
mark@mydomian.org fred@myotherdomain.eu (where myotherdomain.eu has a
catchall redirect the sends mail to mark@mydomain.com)

The mail came through with a "From" (and return) address of
SRS0=yLoOyU=mydomain.org=mark@myotherdomain.eu

Not quite sure how those strings came about, but at least mail gets
through.

So the question:
What settings should I be using?

On my normal mail client (Evolution) I have (as instructed by
blueyonder) got SSL on, delivering to port 465, with no authentication.
I can send mail as mark@mydomain.org, or as
misc.lists@blueyonder.etc.etc. as I am doing now.

Thanks again...

Progress at last.

Mark

Your "message" file....is it a properly formatted email message?
