Mutt hangs on return from sending mail
Over the weekend I upgraded mutt and postfix on my FreeBSD 5.2-
RELEASE box. Now, when I use mutt to compose a new message, mutt
will ask for the recipient, ask for the subject, and pass me to my
editor (whatever editor I have specified). However, when I save and
exit from the editor, mutt seems to hang. No crash, no error
message, no forward progress (even if I let it run for half and hour
or so).
If I use mutt -x to send mail, mutt will ask for the recipient, ask
for the subject, and allow me to type the message. However, when I
am finished and I type the final "." to end the message, mutt hangs.
In this case, the message is sent (I can see it happen if I tail my
maillog in a second window), but mutt never returns me to the shell.
If I use mutt to forward a message or bounce a message, I get a
similar result. On a bounce, I can watch my maillog and see that the
message was sent, but mutt hangs just after sending the message.
I have installed both Mutt 1.4 and Mutt 1.5.11 with the same
results. So far, no matter which version and which configure options
I use, the problem persists. This makes me think that the problem is
environmental, and not a build problem.
I have boiled my .muttrc file down to nothing and built it back up
line by line with no change in this behavior.
I have been through the release notes, and have had a look around the
web for users with similar problems, but have not found a solution so
far.
Has anyone seen this before? Please let me know if you have any
suggestions.
Here is the output from mutt -v:
