Help please with mutt
I have a system running Red Hat Linux. We did a reboot on December 20, 2006. Prior to the reboot, mutt was working great. After the reboot, I have no e-mails going out using mutt. I have tried to manually send an e-mail using mutt beside the automated script that had been working prior to the reboot. My hope is that you might be able to spot what is missing to have cased mutt to have stopped. I have tried to send e-mail from a regular user as well as root. The automated script is: sh -c 'echo Shipment for Waterloo test email | mutt -s Waterloo PackSlip -a 11-27-06638X.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]' The mutt -v shows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CCL.IMPACS]# mutt -v Mutt 1.4.1i (2003-03-19) Copyright (C) 1996-2002 Michael R.

To report a bug, please use the flea(1) utility. The location of Muttrc is /etc. I can sent this to you if you need it. I have searched the Web for references and have not found any that were able to get me back up and running. The person that originally set up the system (and mutt) is no longer with the company and is not available for questions. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You didn't give anything to spot, like error-msgs or log-files excerpts (_NO_ full logs, please!). Please see http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Also see http://wiki.mutt.org/?DebugConfig for trouble- shooting mutt and how to get more info. Also have a look at your local sendmail log-files, somewhere in /var/log/mail or similar, check /etc/syslog.conf for where it is exactly. I have tried to send e-mail from a regular user as well as root. No no no, never work as root, unless that's required. Mail does not. ;) Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

If a reboot stopped your ability to send mail, but not to read it, then it's very possible that the problem is your SMTP server, not mutt. Check that sendmail (or postfix, or qmail, or whatever you use) is running. You can verify this with ps (is it running now) and chkconfig (does your system run it on boot). -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago
