Hi,

Thank you very much!

I think I have the same problem a lot of days.

Please, see this thread:

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29692358

I copy the message to Debian msmtp maintainer to get help how I could
implement this patch on my msmtp deb version.

:~$ msmtp --version
msmtp version 1.4.28
:~$

Thank you very much!
