Re: Mutt won't Send mail
Hello David: THanks for the reply. I removed the '-t' from sendmail's options, but it doesn't make any difference --- the mail just disappears. I'm afraid I'm enough of a newbie that I can't find a "sendmail log" file anywhere on my system (SuSE 6.2). I wonder if anyone can help me find it?? Incidentally, Pine doesn't have this problem, nor does any other MUA I've tried.

Hello Mark: Thanks for the quick reply. Your suggestion works. That is, sendmail now doesn't die when I try to SMTP a message, but the message seems to go to that great bitbucket in the sky, because it (the message) never arrives at the addressee, and all trace of the message's existence disappears, except the copy left in 'outbox'. So, I'm still stumped.
