Kent,

Read /usr/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.38.7.README.  It explains you how you can
coerce mutt into using it for sending mail.  Then read
/usr/doc/ssmtp-2.38.7/README about the limitations of ssmtp.

Jeff

Ok, so it appears that ssmtp will not run in daemon mode.  Besides the
NT apps blat or IIS, is there an smtp server that runs under cygwin?
