SCO Openserver 6 - with maintenance pack 2

It appears that the mutt (v1.4.2.1i) that is compiled for the OSR6
skunkware set works only with sendmail - not mmdf. it can read
mailboxes but is unable to send if mmdf is the MTA (Error sending
message, child exited 78 ())

Can anyone confirm and/or assist? is there some sendmail string i
can put into a muttrc to fix this, or am i going to have to go down
the ugly path and back out patches to replace MTA & reinstall
maintenance packs?

Will the "sendmail" configuration variable do what you want? From the
mutt manual (press F1 while in mutt):

6.3.246. sendmail

Type: path
Default: "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"

Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by
Mutt. Mutt expects that the specified program interprets additional
arguments as recipient addresses.

6.3.247. sendmail_wait
...


no, setting sendmail=/usr/lib/sendmail - the only sendmail binary i
can find on osr6 is bad. it appears on osr6 to be the actual sendmail
- not a link to some MMDF program as it was on OSR5. i tried. once i
start fooling with it, i have to create /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, and it
looks for other sendmail stuff i just can't duplicate easily. i even
tried sendmail=/usr/lib/mail/execmail, but that didn't work either
