This email is being sent from a different email account than the one
using Mutt/msmtp, so don't examine it's metadata to diagnose the problem.
I want to send email from peco...@mesanetworks.net and I have generated
a test email in Mutt (using Emacs). The test email is addressed
To: pec...@gmail.com
The lines in muttrc for outgoing email are:
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set use_from=yes
set realname="Paul E Condon"
set from="peco...@mesanetworks.net"
set envelope_from=yes
The contents of .msmtprc are:
account default
host smtp.everyone.net
from peco...@mesanetworks.net
#tls on
#disable tls_certcheck
auth off
user peco...@mesanetworks.net
#password xxxxx
The error messages from Mutt when I press 'y' to send, are;
Error sending message, child exited 65 (Data format error.).
msmtp: recipient address pec...@gmail.com not accepted by the server
msmtp: server message: 550 Recipient Rejected: Relay not allowed
msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /home/pec/.msmtprc)
I am deliberately setting 'auth off', because after much painful
investigation, I have determined that my ISP does NOT accept encrypted
passwords. The email that I am attempting to send is (from the postponed
file):

It is a reply to a previous email from pec...@gmail.com that proved
that I can receive emails to peco...@mesanetworks.net using fetchmail.
What is the claimed "Data format error." ???
Is there something else than .muttrc and .msmtprc that must be configured?
Thanks for any help.

Is there a specific reason why you would prefer msmtp over mutt's

I doubt your ISP is going to let you use their SMTP server without

authentication. Very few people are running open relays these days. If
"auth on" doesn't work, try "auth plain" or "auth login", but be aware
that you will be sending your password in the clear. Does you're ISP
have any instructions on setting up email for different mail clients
like Outlook or Thunderbird? You can usually get the information you
need to get STARTTLS working from that.

No, I do not think there is such a dependency/link/whatsoever. Please

Changing to "auth login" and adding a "password xxx" ( w/o hash mark )

try something like this in your .msmtprc:
defaults
logfile ~/.msmtp.log
# el bufete LEX
account lex
host mail.lex-sa.cu
from pec...@gmail.com
auth on
tls on
tls_certcheck off
user pec11xx
password yourpassword
if do not work in that way, try adding the @gmail.com after the username...
