Dear Mutters,
Hi. I have enjoyed Mutt for some time -- thanx!
I am currently in the process of moving to a new hosting site, and for
some odd reason, they do not have Mutt. (Horrors!)
So, I decided to build it myself.
It went smoothly (other than having to remove "--with-sasl", and adding
"--enable-debug"), however when I sent mail, e.g.:
~/usr/bin/mutt -d2 -s "backup from HostMonster"
aaron.naiman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx < ~/public_html/.htaccess
I received nothing at the target email address. I also saw no debug/trace
file, in order to send you.
I thought it might be a firewall or proxy issue at the new hosting site,
but they checked the exim log file and found:
2009-08-30 20:22:27 1MhwXL-0000f8-5P <= guestwho@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
U=guestwho P=local S=1692 id=20090831022227.GA2528@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

R=message_bounce: "syntax error in Exim::expand_string argument: failed to
open /etc/demouids for linear search: No such file or directory at
/etc/exim.pl.local line 1315.
2009-08-30 20:22:27 1MhwXL-0000f8-5P Completed
I do not really understand it -- is it a configuration thing?
Thanx for your time!
HAGD,
Aaron
