i had similar problem like u : ok with pine, fail to send in mutt, using sendmail.
But my error is "...child exited 71 (No such file or directory)"
in my case:
* i found that in spite of the mutt error, the mail was sent without problem to the
receiver.
* the /var/log/maillog shows that there are some errors reported by sendmail; but such
errors are not fatal, so the mail was sent out without problem
* my conclusion is that pine ignore the non-fatal error from sendmail, but mutt will
consider it, thus reporting some error messages.
So, take a look at your maillog 1st.
Hope my experience helps.
