I installed Mandrake 8 last night. And it went pretty smooth. It's back
to using Aurora again, which I don't like, but my sister likes watching
the pretty backgrounds as it goes though. (Believe it or not she's 19.)
So I get my system up and running, I restore the user directories from my
Mandrake 7.2 install, and everything appears to be doing just fine. I start
fetchmail, I brought of my old HTML files and mail, so I start up my favorite
mail client.
I start up mutt and it has my old mail, and it reads my .muttrc even though it
thinks there's no $HOME/mail directory, which there is, but it insists on making
one, and everything's fine. So I decide it's time to respond to some emails,
and here's where I have the problem.
I finish typing up my email, I verify all the addresses are in place and hit
y to send the email. I get a "Sending message...Segmentation fault." But it
doesn't actually send the message and then mutt of course dies on me.
The last time I tried to upgrade Mutt, I had this problem, but it was when I
trying to download POP mail. I keep trying to figure out why this is happening
and then I get it.

Mutt's configured, straight off the CD, for sendmail.
SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
But Mandrake has been trying to push postfix on everybody for the last 3 releases.
It won't even allow you to install sendmail. Gives you a good 100 or so dependancy
errors.
So my question, is how do I install Mutt to use postfix? Or where do I go and change
mutt so it will use postfix instead.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
