No. I understand SMTP in mutt as "mutt is directly talking SMTP to peer" and this not in some child proc or thread. It will just wait whatever the result of the SMTP chat will be, ofc with timeouts if the peer is not responding (anymore). matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045 ¡Dios querido denos otra vez los problemas de ayer, los que tuvimos en la RDA!

I understand this config value for the $sendmail proc, as the man page also explains. Does this really also affect the built-in SMTP client functionality? matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045 ¡Dios querido denos otra vez los problemas de ayer, los que tuvimos en la RDA!

I did not check manual (I have read it two times all the way through before, but I forget details). Thank you for walking me through it and getting started. For more details I will read manual.

I 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.

Send mail in background with built-in SMTP client?
Dear all, I use mutt's built-in SMTP client. I would like to press 'y' and immediately be able to move on to my next email without waiting. I understand why it is important to wait---if the email send failed, then it is important for you to know that. But is it possible to be notified of a failed email in another way instead of having to wait? Kind regards, Xu
