--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs22-el Version: 22.0.99+1-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/emacs/22.0.99/lisp/mail/sendmail.el.gz As I communicate mail over my ISP's mail host, I don't need a MTA and therefore removed exim4. This resulted in the following error when starting gnus v5.11 in emacs22: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "/usr/bin/mail is not executable") signal(error ("/usr/bin/mail is not executable")) error("/usr/bin/mail is not executable") (if (not (file-executable-p "/usr/bin/mail")) (error "/usr/bin/mail is not executable")) (cond ((file-exists-p "/usr/sbin/sendmail") "/usr/sbin/sendmail") ((file-exists-p "/usr/lib/sendmail") "/usr/lib/sendmail") ((file-exists-p "/usr/ucblib/sendmail") "/usr/ucblib/sendmail") (t (if ... ...)

Smtpmail.el itself requires sendmail.el, which caused the error at defcustom of sendmail-program as I haven't got sendmail or /usr/bin/mail on my system: (defcustom sendmail-program (cond ((file-exists-p "/usr/sbin/sendmail") "/usr/sbin/sendmail") ((file-exists-p "/usr/lib/sendmail") "/usr/lib/sendmail") ((file-exists-p "/usr/ucblib/sendmail") "/usr/ucblib/sendmail") (t (if (not (file-executable-p "/usr/bin/mail")) (error "/usr/bin/mail is not executable")) "fakemail")) ;In ../etc, to interface to /bin/mail. "Program used to send messages." :group 'mail :type 'file) There are two lines of code I couldn't find in any version on <http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/emacs/lisp/mail/sendmail.el?view=log>: (if (not (file-executable-p "/usr/bin/mail")) (error "/usr/bin/mail is not executable")) So, I assume this was modified by Debian. I removed both lines, which works for me. I'm wondering about this error message. If necessary, you might change it also to: (if (not (file-executable-p "/usr/bin/mail")) (message "/usr/bin/mail is not executable")) This gives the user the information without interrupting loading gnus. I hope, this is helpful.

This change just makes things consistent across all the relevant platforms. Thanks to Sven Joachim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the fix. (closes: #503054) . * Set mail-interactive to t if /usr/bin/mail is not an executable and fakemail is chosen. This should still help avoid silent mail loss, but won't signal an error if the mailer is never invoked. Thanks to Ralf Resack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for proposing the fix.
