There's no need to use a MUA such as mutt for this type of thing on any system that has sendmail or a sendmail replacement (e.g.
postfix, smail2, even the treaded MMDF SCO mailers).  Simply create a mail message with whatever headers you want and pipe it or redirect the input to sendmail.  Something like this would work using the 'sendmail -t' option which gets the destination address from the headers which allows things like Bcc: headers or multiple recipient addresses.

cat <<DONE
To: somebody at example.com
From: do-not-replay at yourdomain.com
Subject: whatever you want

This is the message body separated from the headers by one or more blank lines.
DONE | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

I tested it and it works wonderful, I can even use whatever domain I want :)  .    I wonder if this is how hackers use spam servers to spam.

Thanks!
