What program are you using to send mail? It looks like it is exiting
with an error code but sending it anyway. Generally, a return code of
127 means "killed by signal" - which could be a segfault or something
else. You may want to try sending an email "by hand" (i.e. `echo "foo"
| /whatever/program/you/use`) in order to see how it is failing.
As for the mail being posted in the 'sent' mailbox, you should know
that mutt puts the mail in the sent mailbox *before* triggering the
$sendmail process. I believe the justification is that you don't want
to send mail that you have no record of.
