Hi, I am trying to use mutt to connect to a mailserver and receive/send mails. I have configured mutt for pop and I am albe to connect to the mailserver, access my mailbox and view my mails. However, I am not able to send mails from my system. From what I have read, I believe mutt internally uses Sendmail to send the mails out. I am looking at a simple e-mail application which just allows me to read and write mails (no queueing, postponing messages..) And I did read that for a simple use like this one, there was a suggestion to use ssmtp, which would just transfer the mail to the mailhub (i.e. my mail server) to do the delivery of the mail. I tried using ssmtp with mutt, but to no avail. The mails were still being sent out through Sendmail. So I uninstalled sendmail (and the applications which depend on sendmail - like fetchmaill). Now when I try to send mail from mutt, it says that "Error sending mail, child exited (127)"
How do I get mutt to work with ssmtp? In the Muttrc file in the mutt directory (I am running mutt from it's directory itself, i haven't done a make install after having compiled the application) I have an entry, telling mutt to use ssmtp as: set sendmail="/usr/local/bin/sbin/ssmtp" I am running Redhat Linux 7.1 I would be grateful to any suggestion I receive to solve this problem. Thanks in advance. Regards, Kanagesh
