Re: Interrupted System Calls



Gah !  Kyle FTW !

My smtp_url was in incorrectly formatted...
Incorrect:  smtp_url=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587:dylanstamat@xxxxxxxxx/
Correct:  smtp_url=smtp://dylanstamat@xxxxxxxxx@smtp.gmail.com:587

No idea where I got that incorrect format from.  I'm going to blame it on
some ill-configured muttrc that wanders the internet at night.

That... and yeah, my system is on the old kernel :)
Thanks for the help Kyle !
