Two parts. In ~/.muttrc, put: set from="Lux Zhang <yuanlux@xxxxxxxxx>" And mutt really does require you to be running some form of Mail Transport Agent, such as sendmail, locally. A minimal sendmail, with a smarthost defined to point at your ISP's smtp server, is all you need. On sendmail, the easist way to do this is to set an outgoing server in /etc/mail/mailertable with a line such as: . smtp:[smtp-server.your-isp.com] and restart sendmail.
