Re: Mutt 1.4.1i on Solaris 9
Michael,
I'm sorry, while I was failing to post I changed details between
emails.. I had meant to say/include.
Using, elm (which I need to discontinue because we are going client/
server and dismounting /var/mail from the mailhost), /usr/lib/sendmail,
pine or mail/mailx my mail goes though smtp rather than mailhost. So I
do have reasonable confidence that sendmail is correctly configured and
working as expected.
>From # mutt -v, /usr/lib/sendmail is correctly pointed.
SENDMAIL="/usr/lib/sendmail"
We didn't compile mutt, its the SFW (Sun FreeWare installation), I can't
believe they'd recompile in an smtp client, and when asked for assistance
they claimed that they build it and packaged it but performed no
customization nor maintenance on it.
I did run mutt under # truss, I don't know what the sendmail call
should look like, but it wasn't obvious to me in the code. Not that
that means much. I have or can regenerate the truss output if anyone
wants to see it.
thank you,
Brian
