You stated that mutt fails the SMTP submission hence why I asked if you tried msmtp as it has never failed for me. If you don't want to use mutt to send you email - in postfix set recipient_delimiter = + - tell git to add a BCC to alp+git - if you don't already use procmail create ~alp/.forward+git to pipe to procmail - tell procmail to deliver email sent to alp+git to your sent folder. I didn't realize that mutt has native SMTP support now. To be fair it was only added 7 years ago to the dev branch. Direct SMTP support is still absent from the Stable branch. -- sg
