Hi all - I'm desperated - sorry for bothering you.
I can't get mutt (or my MTA ?) to run. Since 2 weeks I try to find help in
documents (ie Sven Guckes Setup Hints) and asked in two mailing lists.
I tried to run mutt with ssmtp or smail. Mutt tells me "Mail sent." but
then I get (with both MTAs) similar error messages (inside mutt):
* /usr/sbin/ssmtp: no recipients supplied: no mail will be sent.
* Usage: smail [flags] address ...
It seems that mutt doesn't deliver the recipients address.
* How can I tell mutt to do this?
* How can I try to test my MTA directly and send a mail direct from
the MTA (smail or ssmtp) without MUA (working example)?
* What can I try else? - Who causes this error (mutt, MTA, myISP)?
I'm using mutt 0.91.2, ssmtp 2.27 resp. smail 3.2.0. (I couldn't /
don't want to upgrade my system - Debian 2.0).
My .muttrc:
set pop_user="..."
set pop_pass="..."
set pop_host="mail.uta4you.at"
set pop_delete
#set sendmail="/usr/sbin/ssmtp"
#set sendmail="/usr/sbin/smail"
set editor="/usr/bin/e3pi"
My ssmtp.conf:
root=postmaster
mailhub=mail.uta4you.at
hostname=sabine
FromLineOverride=YES
Thanks for ANY help and sorry for bothering you
Dieter
PS: Fetching mails with mutt ("G") works fine.
PPS: I want to be "A Man and his Mutt" too - sending mails is the
last thing that doesn't work on my Linuxbox
