Help - domain does not exist
I'm starting to use Mutt in my Linux box but I'm getting some errors when I try to send mail to my own mailbox (provided for my ISP, a pop account), even if it's just CC or BCC. Mutt can send mail to everyone I try but when it comes to my own account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) the server returns my mail with the message: Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 501 5.1.8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist and my message won't post... What does that mean? Does it mean that I have to setup a network with a real domain just to use Mutt? I don't think so. I usually don't send mail to myself :) but, when testing, those errors happened and I became concerned if this could happen with messages to other people. I can't afford missing an important message that should be sent to some client. I've already ready the man pages, online help and other resources and modified my .muttrc file with the parameters: set hostname=uai.com.br set pop_host=pop.uai.com.br set pop_user=vvega set hdrs #to include my_hdr lines to message headers and my_hdr From: Rodrigo Fonseca [EMAIL PROTECTED] but nothing works. Is there something I'm missing? Maybe another setting for my smtp server? Or does this mean that my ISP's smtp server is not well configured? Any help will be very appreciated! Thanks in advance!

That could help eliminate the error you are receiving from the mailserver. In ~/.muttrc (or some file sourced by ~/.muttrc): set envelope_from Also, to delete messages aff the POP host after downloading them, set the $pop_delete variable. In ~/.muttrc (or some file sourced by ~/.muttrc): set pop_delete You might, however, be better served to not use Mutt's mail retrieval functions and use a mail retrieval utility like fetchmail instead. Personally, I find it more convenient and useful, especially since it has more flexibility and can handle multiple accounts, (although, with some clever hooks, I guess Mutt could emulate some of the functionality.)

Ah well. I should bring this over to the dev list. I figured I just

What happen is when you press c to change folders the default selection is the next mailbox with new mail. Or if you hit c to change folder '?' to list all folders then Tab this will display your mailboxes. The ones with n N have new mail. Cheers DanM

I can't really do any of the previously mentioned solutions anyway because I am using IMAP and it's not that simple to reconfigure sendmail and restart it remotely (or is it?). I'm confused, you seem to be mixing IMAP and SMTP up here. Sendmail is an SMTP server and a delivery agent, it is not an IMAP server. IMAP is usually used to READ mail, and SMTP is always used to SEND mail. I use an IMAP server on my local network where I download all my mail to. Sendmail on all my clients is configured to send mail to my IMAP server. I don't think so. What kind of IMAP server do you have that supports SMTP? Alternately, what kind of sendmail do you have that supports IMAP? My IMAP server has a SMART_HOST directive to deliver outbound mail to my ISP mail server. My IMAP server is set up to masquerade using my ISP's domain. The consequence is that any set envelope_from directive in my .muttrc becomes moot. Maybe I shouldn't be doing it this way? I also use this same server for routing mail via SMTP from Windows 98 clients using Netscape or Outlook/Express so I'm not just limited to a mutt environment. -- Sam Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry if I'm confusing things.

Mutt ONLY sends mail through the local mail system, so you need a ../sendmail on your workstation that accepts mail. Do you have that? I use nullmailer, because life is too short to screw with sendmail. Whatever you use will most likely use smtp to forward the mail to your gateway (the IMAP server machine). So you need an smtp server on your mail gateway. Do you have one? It sounds as if you do, and that its sendmail. Then you need the MTA (the smtp server, sendmail in you say) on that gateway to deliver mail... What part is not working? I thought you said originally that you wanted to configure some machine (the workstation or gateway?) to forward to one of a set of smtp servers, and to reconfigure which one on the fly. I'm kind of puzzled, I don't know what your network setup is, or what you're trying to achieve, so I can't really make any suggestions. Sam -- Sam Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can't send mail
Hi, all of a sudden I can't send email. Mutt gets to the point where it launches my editor to actually compose the email and just hangs. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the new version of vim I installed. My question is, how can I change mutts default editor to something like pico so that I can see if vim is causing the problem. I tried changing the EDITOR env var to pico, and adding 'set editor=pico' to my .muttrc but it still hangs. any ideas ? thanks, barry

For anyone interested, the offending source code appears to be in the function 'int mx_close_mailbox (CONTEXT *ctx, int *index_hint)' in 'mx.c'. In 1.3.17, anyway, it appears as though this inbox-mbox stuff should work over IMAP. I'm a luser MFC developer by profession, and I don't know how to use unix debugging tools.

color body: influence of multiple matching patterns
I have some messages with www/ftp URLs. To highlight them I use -- QUOTE BEGIN -- color body black yellow '(ftp|www)(\.[^ ]+)+(/[^]*)*' color body black white [^\t ]+:([^\t ]*/[^\t ]*)+ color body black green (f|ht)tp://[^\t ]+ color signature red black === QUOTE END === The black white pattern is for anything like host:path. Normally it should look like: www.bla.org - yellow host:www/bla/fasel - white http://www.doamin.bla - green This works in general. When I switch the green and the white definition, then all the green highlights turn white. I take it that the last matching pattern rules. True ? For all eMails it works, except for 1 ! Try the above color definitions and have a look on the eMail attached ! If you can, tell me ... 1. why isn't the sig recognized and coloured right ? 2. why isn't the URL at the bottom not green but white ??? When I comment out the white definition and restart mutt, the URL turns green !!!
