Hi Rocco,

Mutt version is 1.5.18. And -a option also appears ok. I don't see any
error message in any one system log file.

[root@BRS-UA1-ZAFRODB1 ~]# /usr/local/bin/mutt --help

What version of mutt do you use? Check the mutt manpage for how to use
it, the handling of -a parameter was changed some time ago in a way that
requires you to adjust that call.

So, when mutt actually sends the message, it cannot do anything about it
if the delivery tool doesn't report an error. In your case, then the
message is in /var/..., it seems it didn't. So there's no reason for
mutt to further investigate.

You need to look at server logfiles about they're being held back.
