I noticed that there is NO /usr/sbin/sendmail A search for sendmail on my system came up with nothing alsoCode: [Select]tc@box:~$ sudo find / -name sendmailSuggestions and comments welcome. Logged Live long and prosper. Juanito Administrator Hero Member Posts: 8675 Re: Error sending mail from
the mail to $sendmail for delivery (see MailConcept), but this time the MTA refused to accept it from the MUA, or while processing it some error occurred. Make sure you have /usr/lib/sendmail or /usr/sbin/sendmail mutt msmtp installed and your MTA properly configured (read the MTAs docs carefully). mutt sasl authentication failed Make sure you get sendmail debug-information stored somewhere, for example via /etc/syslog. Try to call sendmail
Muttrc
directly from the command-line for more clues. And specify the correct path in muttrc. Mail doesn't arrive / bounces, how can I figure out why? First have http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=12784.0 a look at the logfiles of your sendmail-MTA. Normally, status msgs are logged via syslog, RTFM of "syslog" and your MTA to find the location and analyze potential error messages. Another thing you can do is turn on DSN (delivery system notification) via the $dsn_* vars, and then check the returned headers. When inspecting headers, https://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttFaq/Sendmail always use the full headers, not the weeded (cleared by "ignore"s). Why is it so slow when I send an email? The default behavior of mutt is to wait until the mail is effectively sent. You can disable this by having: set sendmail_wait=-1 Put the line above to your .muttrc and mutt will return the hand without waiting for the email to be sent. However, delivery feedback is then delayed or has to be acquired by other means, see above. How do I configure Mutt to use a remote SMTP server to send mail? Mutt can't do so directly (read the MailConcept to understand why this won't change). You must specify a local MTA to do it. The MTA must have a sendmail compatible interface to be used with $sendmail. See SendmailAgents for which to use, configure, install. Update: Recent versions (1.5.x) of Mutt has built-in SMTP support. If the smtp option is enabled during the compilation, you just need to

Does that provide any helpful hints? (-d sets debug output level. Up to -d 5 is allowed, according to the man page for my mutt.) –Michael Kjörling Jul 31 '13 at 12:17 I am getting error while trying command DEBUG was not defined during compilation. Ignored. could provide example, How to use mutt -d 2 –Sandeep Singh Jul 31 '13 at 13:27 So your mutt was compiled without debug support. Pity. Can you send any mail at all through mutt? –Michael Kjörling Jul 31 '13 at 13:35 Currently I am unable to send mail through mutt. –Sandeep Singh Jul 31 '13 at 13:50 What distribution you are running? If you run a debian-like OS, you should install mutt-dbg to get debugging symbols, if it's a RPM-based you should run as root debuginfo-install mutt. Other distros has different methods. Once you do this run mutt -d 2 again. –Braiam Jul 31 '13 at 16:37 add a comment| active oldest votes Know someone who can answer?
