Hi,
is there a way to be ``subscribed'' on a mailinglist in ~/.muttrc but
not change the view in the index, say to keep seeing who sent the mail
to the list?
set index_format=%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-30.30F %-25.25L (%c) %s

Re: Sending Mails out of mutt to mailhub
You cannot have sendmail and ssmail listening on port 25. only one or the other. fetchmail doesn't have to pass mail off to a MTA like sendmail. It can be configured to pass mail directly to a MDA like procmail. If you're using the built in pop capabilities of mutt, you really don't need fetchmail. Fetchmail doesn't really need sendmail, but it sounds like maybe your mackage manager believes it does. My suggestion is to either stop sendmail from starting automatically if you're going to use mutt's pop capabilities, and either use ssmail to send mails, or configure sendmail to relay off of another server (DSmail.yourisp.com in sendmail.cf). Either way it should work, and fetchmail doesn't have to deliver mail to a MTA. dan * Kanagesh ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Hi, I am trying to use mutt to connect to a mailserver and receive/send mails. I have configured mutt for pop and I am albe to connect to the mailserver, access my mailbox and view my mails. However, I am not able to send mails from my system. From what I have read, I believe mutt internally uses Sendmail to send the mails out. I am looking at a simple e-mail application which just allows me to read and write mails (no queueing, postponing messages..) And I did read that for a simple use like this one, there was a suggestion to use ssmtp, which would just transfer the mail to the mailhub (i.e. my mail server) to do the delivery of the mail. I tried using ssmtp with mutt, but to no avail. The mails were still being sent out through Sendmail. So I uninstalled sendmail (and the applications which depend on sendmail - like fetchmaill). Now when I try to send mail from mutt, it says that Error sending mail, child exited (127) How do I get mutt to work with ssmtp? In the Muttrc file in the mutt directory (I am running mutt from it's directory itself, i haven't done a make install after having compiled the application) I have an entry, telling mutt to use ssmtp as: set sendmail=/usr/local/bin/sbin/ssmtp I am running Redhat Linux 7.1 I would be grateful to any suggestion I receive to solve this problem.

mailboxes
I'm defining mailboxes in ~/.muttrc as follows... mailboxes `echo $HOME/mail/*` /var/spool/mail/graffix ...that works fine for displaying notifications about new messages in those folders. the problem is is that $HOME/mail/* includes sent (set record=~/mail/sent), and i'd rather not get notifications for new messages in the sent folder. it doesn't look like i can replace the mailboxes echo with something like `echo $HOME/mail/* |grep -v sent` sa the output of the echo command is all on one line. Is there any way to not get notifications of new messages in sent, while not having to specify every single mailbox for the mailboxes directive in .muttrc? thanks, dan
Re: mailboxes
sorry to reply to my own message, but i think i may have figured it out.
ls -al $HOME/mail/* |awk '{print $9}' |grep -v sent
produces
/home/user/mail/inbox
/home/user/mail/mutt-users
and so on. is there any reason that i couldn't replace the echo command with the ls
-al one for my mailboxes directive in .muttrc?
