Re: More problems w/ EXIM upgrade



I had that problem also and I entered this in my .muttrc in the sendmail section:

### sendmail
### Type: string
### Default: /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem
### Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by Mutt.
### Mutt expects that the specified program will read the message header for
### recipients.
set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem"

Funny that I had to enter it but it works...

On my potato system, with exim 3.02-1 and mutt 0.95.6-2 (which comes with potato), 
/usr/lib/sendmail is a symlink to /usr/sbin/exim.
