msmtp+mutt problem

I am using msmtp +mutt for email.                                           
I recently signed up for a freemail account in spymac.com and I need to use     
msmtp to use its smtp server.                                                   
however, it is in msmtprc file, I set authentication to 'plain' and 'login'     
but got messages saying not supported.                                         
I then configured sypleed to send mail and it has 'auto' option for smtp       
authentication.                                                                 
Then what does this 'auto' stand for? how do I set it correcpondingly in       
msmtprc?             

Any users of msmtp can help? or can you recommend a better MTA than msmtp?

I don't use msmtp, but I can recommend you ssmtp (which I use with mutt): extremely easy to configure (just edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf)

Re: msmtp+mutt problem

I have a page on mutt (using either nbsmtp or ssmtp which I prefer)
at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/mutt.html

I also have a QND (Quick And Dirty) guide to it at

www.qnd-guides.org/qnd-ssmtp.html

It's the one I use with mutt I agree, quite easy to set up, and quite good, in my opinion.

it is in /usr/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf and changed the mailhub to my mailserver it works  :!:
