That sounds like a problem at Yahoo: maybe someone else can help there.

You need to have something to actually send mails from Mutt,
but Ssmtp should be adequate for an ordinary desktop system.
First, 'emerge ssmtp' & edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf to taste,
then specify it in ~/.muttrc :
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/ssmtp"
