How to Configure Balsa to Send Mail

[Bob Perry <rperry4 earthlink net>]

Recently compiled and installed Balsa 2.0.17 and am having 
some difficulty sending mail.  I'm running FreeBSD 4.9 and 
using Sendmail as the MTA.  Also have Mutt-1.4.2.1 installed 
along with Procmail-3.22_4.

At this point, I have Balsa reading mail from the same 
directory as Mutt, ~/Mail, utilizing the same mailboxes. 

The configuration in Balsa is as such.  "Remote Mailbox Servers"
is empty.  "Local Mail" is ~/Mail and "Outgoing Mail"-"Remote 
SMTP Server" is set at "localhost:smtp".

I've been successful sending mail to myself, except that I 
always receive two copies of each note and I don't see my notes 
in either Balsa's "Sentbox" or Mutt's "Sent" files.  In addition 
I haven't yet received a response from notes sent to others.

Would appreciate any assistance/direction you can provide.

Thank you.
