Problems sending large attachments
Problems sending large attachments? I have a P111 notebook with over 300MB memory and pcmcia modem running on Redhat 7.2. I use Kmail 1.3.2 on KDE 2.2.2-1 and have been trying Mutt 1.3.25i out. I have used sendmail-8.11.6-3 and have configured Kmail and mutt to use this I can send emails with small attachments, receive emails even with large attachments but when I try to send large attachments around 40 KB and over using either ./sendmail -v -q or Kmail's smtp server, I get error messages, and the connection freezes. Mutt sends the mail to mqueue and when I use sendmail -q the connection stalls. This has happened with different desktops, different distros i.e. Redhat and SuSE 7.3. I have no problem when I use Windows, so it is not the ISP. Could it be a problem with 'wvdial.conf' or some other configuation file, limiting the size of message I can send? I have spent alot of time searching for answers and using different configuration of sendmail but unfortunately without joy. Is this a problem with linux, I need to send large attachments sometimes from home to work. Do I need to keep Windows installed? Jim
SPAM filters and mutt
Hey, guys I'm not on the mailing list, but I have a quick question: Is there a way to do mail filtering by body text/attachment reading? Thanks, Justin Hibbits -- Registered Linux user 260206
New to Mutt
I have a RH 7.2 box and am interested in using Mutt. I have it installed, but I can't seem to get it to do anything - yet.. I have looked at the man page but that really doesn't seem to help me. Can anyone direct me to a good new user location? Thanx

Mutt goes by the UNIX philosophy of do one thing, do it well. Procmail (or yes, Maildrop) as an add-on tool would be good choices to do some filtering of messages at delivery time. While in Mutt, you can do something called limiting, which will pare down the messages shown in the index based on patterns. for example, to limit the current view to messages containing 'Outlook' in the headers, you could type 'l' for limit, then '~h Outlook' and hit enter. There are many other patterns such as '~b' for body, '~f' for from, etc. that you can read about further in the manual. As for attachments, you'll only really have luck with them if they are text-based. I believe that the '~b' pattern would match strings in attachments as well, since they are technically part of the body in a MIME message. If you're interested in spam filtering, there are a number of ways to do this, including my ideas at: http://codesorcery.net/docs/spamtricks.html (Apologies if I've already mentioned this in this thread, I don't have the rest of it handy anymore).

system hang, lost mutt function
I had a system hang with xcdroast. SuSE 7.3 pro, uptodate 2.4.10-4GB, i686, kde 2.2.2 mutt 1.3.27i (2002-01-22) Since restarting, trying to post mail from within mutt or the command line, mutt hangs. The rest of mutt's functions, afaict, function properly. I removed mutt, then reinstalled. I removed my personal .muttrc, then replaced it. The only difference I noticed was that without my .muttrc, when I tried to post, mutt accepted the TO:, and then hung after I completed the SUBJECT: line. It would not accept keystroke after enter on the SUBJECT: line. With my .muttrc, mutt hangs when I enter m to begin a post. Just noticed, mutt also hangs when I enter L to post to the mailgroup, status line indicates: Including quoted message... Same thing with g. I can kill mutt with kill pid. This would seem to indicate that the editor was hanging, but the same thing happens when I comment out the editor line in .muttrc. HELP, please pat [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What's the output of ps x while mutt is hanging, is the editor started? If you specify $editor on your .muttrc, what's happening if you try to start $editor from the shellprompt? Nicolas

When this happened to me, it was a corrupt signature file.
