Both /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail are symlinks to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail If you are running OpenBSD 2.7, then you shouldn't replace /usr/sbin/sendmail, as it will get overwritten the next time you upgrade it with a 'make build' from source. Instead, place relevant entries in /etc/mailer.conf to point the sendmail wrapper (mailwrapper) to the correct place for qmail. This could be the cause of your exec problem. Check that the symlinks are in place, and if not, read mailer.conf(5) I use the following /etc/mailer.conf on OpenBSD-current: sendmail/var/qmail/bin/sendmail send-mail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail mailq /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread newaliases /usr/bin/true hoststat/usr/bin/true purgestat /usr/bin/true -- Anil Madhavapeddy, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mutt and qmail: child exited 127
I've compiled and installed the latest version of mutt on OpenBSD 2.7. The MTA I'm using is qmail 1.03. I use fetchmail to retrieve the mail, and procmail to deliver it. I set both procmail and mutt to use maildir instead of mbox (it seems that mutt won't recognize the mbox style messages since they lack a from field on the first line). I can send mail through the 'mail' command, but if I try to send from the mutt compose menu, I get this warning Error sending message, child exited 127 (Exec error.). when i press y to send. i read the mailing list archives looking for this error, and i found some directions like upgrading to the latest procmail (which i did) and installing mutt after installing/configuring qmail (so i recompiled and reinstalled). but i still get the same error. Could anyone help with this, please?

Hi, I don't use qmail, but the first thing I would check is that qmail's /var/qmail/bin/sendmail actually supports all the options you are passing it. In particular, I would verify that the -f option is supported. If it isn't, then this could be why you are getting a child exited 127 error. -Harold -- "Life sucks, deal with it!"

However, the sendmail wrapper should work just as well, so I'm not sure if this will actually fix anything for you. You're not meant to have the -oi -oem things on the sendmail wrapper command line though, I think they're not supported by qmail's wrapper (although I forget, and the wrapper is unfortunately not well documented). I would recommend trying something like "cat /tmp/file" as the $sendmail command in Mutt, and then see if you can send mail from the command line: "sendmail a@recipient -f your@address /tmp/file" That's actually the same as what Mutt is doing, so maybe you can reproduce the problem on the command line too.
