[CLUE-Tech] Point MUA to local SMTP listener?

[Match Grun]

Did you try to re-send the message that was in the Queue? If so then Sylpheed attempts to re-send the the smtp server that it was configured for at time of the original send... I just checked this in Sylpheed.

Compose a new message and send that. See what happens.

Note, it's trying to connect to **smpt.localhost**, not smtp.localhost.
