Not sure what "I have checked whether SMTP is configured or not,and I think it is configured." means but what I tried to tell you:
  1. Identify your MTA/mail daemon (sendmail, postfix, exim, ...) with something like ps -ef| grep -i <mail daemon's name in here>.
  2. Find it's log files, probably somewhere below /var/log. Could be a file with the name "mail" in it or maybe a subdirectory with the name of your mail daemon.
  3. Open the log with tail -f <mail.log.file>.
  4. Try to send your mail in another terminal window and check out what is written into the log.
  5. Try to solve the problem, google or write here posting the error output

NAME
msg2smtp - a 'bridge' between MUA and GNU Anubis SYNOPSIS
msg2smtp -h HOST [-p PORT] [-e HELO_DOMAIN] [-U USERNAME] [-P PASSWORD] [-m MECHANISM] [-d] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the msg2smtp command. msg2smtp is a program that takes a mail message on STDIN and relays it to an SMTP server. MUA (Mutt) --> msg2smtp.pl --> Anubis --> remote or local MTA This can be used whenever you want to convert a mail message on STDIN and talk to an SMTP server as output. Just like sendmail do. If you want to use this script with Mutt, add this to Mutt configuration file: set sendmail="/PATHTO/msg2smtp.pl -h localhost" If you run GNU Anubis on port 4000, you would put this line in your muttrc: set sendmail="/PATHTO/msg2smtp.pl -h localhost -p 4000" OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below: -h HOST hostname of SMTP server, often 'localhost', -p PORT port of the SMTP server, -e HELO_DOMAIN domain we use when to say helo to smtp server, -U USERNAME ESMTP auth username, -P PASSWORD ESMTP auth password, -m MECHANISM ESMTP auth mechanism - default is PLAIN, -d shows SMTP conversation and perl debugging.
