I think you're right.  I hit this problem when moving to Ubuntu;  not
Breezy, an earlier version.  Here's a bit of my /etc/nmh/mts.conf.

    # The delivery method to use.  Supported values are `smtp' and `sendmail'.
    # When `smtp', nmh will open a socket connection to the mail port on the
    # machine specified below, and speak SMTP directly.
    # When `sendmail', nmh will pipe messages directly to the sendmail program.
    # Altered by Ralph.
    # was: mts: sendmail
    mts: smtp

Cheers,


Ralph.
