Did you check the fine manual? 3.234. sendmail_wait Type: number Default: 0 Specifies the number of seconds to wait for the $sendmail process to finish before giving up and putting delivery in the background. Mutt interprets the value of this variable as follows: +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ |>0|number of seconds to wait for sendmail to finish before continuing| |--+------------------------------------------------------------------| |0 |wait forever for sendmail to finish | |--+------------------------------------------------------------------| |<0|always put sendmail in the background without waiting | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child process will be put in a temporary file. If there is some error, you will be informed as to where to find the output.
