IMAP and POP3 protocols are meant to import emails.
SMTP is meant to export (/send) them.

I do use mutt with ssmtp to send messages like this one and I read my
email directly on an IMAP server.

Unfortunatelly, I can't help much. I use XP and every thing is working
fine. ssmtp is used to send the emails to a local STMP server (Hamster),
which then relays my messages to the SMTP servers of my ISP.

The only times I get the error
> Error sending message, child exited 127 (Exec error.).

is when Hamster is not running -- as ssmtp can't reach the SMTP server
it must send the messages to.

But I'm not sure it is of any help here.
