Question about Configuration

Hi

I configured msmtp and when I send a mail with the command

msmtp -a ARRA receiver <at> domain.com < mailtext.txt

I become a Mail with no return address and no name. 

What do I'm doing wrong?

My config File looks like:

defaults
tls on
tls_starttls on
tls_certcheck off
auth on

account ARRA
host smtp.host.com
from admin <at> host.com
user admin <at> host.com
port 25
password (passwd)

But in the incoming Mail-Client, there is no "from": Field.

Kind regards, Dave

Your mailtext.txt must contain the complete mail, not just the mail
body. Msmtp does not construct a complete mail, that's the job of a
mail user agent (MUA) such as Mutt.
