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

Sorry, I didn't mean to use the example literally. Try:

set sendmail="/usr/mmdf/bin/submit -mlnr"

That's what I used in mush when I still had mmdf several years ago.
Check the submit man page on the options though since they may be
specific to how mush handed the message to submit (I've always found
the submit man page confusing and convoluted). I think John Dubois was
the mmdf expert from SCO who used to answer all the these questions.
Where is he now?
