The error code can be checked in the log file or here

http://freebsd-man.page2go2.com/man3/sysexits_3.html

and for your case

 EX_DATAERR (65)           The input data was incorrect in some way.  This
                           should only be used for user's data and not system
                           files.

hmm...that doesn't seem to be too helpful.

try to send the same mail from the command line like this

create a file testmail.txt with a simple email body.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Subject: Test

test email
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
 From the command line, issue this
msmtp --file=./msmtprc.txt < ./testmail.txt someone@someplace.com

Check what happens.
