Hi mutt users,
Hmm...do any of you have any solution for sending emails in background
without hanging up your mutt? I am getting annoyed by the delay coming with
mutt's default smtp. I would like to have a sendmail script that would queue
up my all my emails from mutt and send it at proper time and if it fails, it
will notify me with a failure status or failure messages.
Currently I have a msmtp set up, with its .msmtprc like this:
account default
host smtp.gmail.com
from <mysendaddresshere>
auth on
port 587
user <myaccounthere>
password <mypasswordhere>
protocol smtp
logfile ~/.msmtp.log
tls on
tls_starttls on
tls_nocertcheck
and my .muttrc like this:
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
# don't wait for msmtp to complete. Let it run at background
set sendmail_wait=-1
But there some problems with this solution:
1. the "sendmail_wait=-1" doesn't seems work?
2. when I cutt off my network connection, mutt cannot sendmail anymore.
It just hang up there infinitely and I have to Ctrl-C...
Any suggestion?
