Mutt is giving me a headache
Hi Guy
We are using RH4.00 ES Mutt version 1.4.1i All of a sudden mutt stop sending attachments larger the 8k everything else works fine. sendmail.cf contains the line "MaxMessageSize=10000000" I am using all the correct commands etc. been doing it for years Any help is appreciated Dory |
I tried a web search and all I could turn up that looked useful was this, which indicates the attachment size limit is established, not by Mutt, but by the mail transport agent. Have there been any changes to the MTA?
Have you looked in /var/log/maillog? It might give some hints. |

Thanks for your input I googled "smtp attachment size limit linux mail" but kept hitting dead ends. I am really amazed that after 1 full week of web searches I was not able to find a similar situation If SMTP is to blame what steps do I take to correct it? far as I know SMTP uses sendmail (in my case) to adjust message size Dory |

RH 4 ??? -------------------------------------------- RH 4.0 | "Colgate"| 3 October |1996 | 2.0.18 -------------------------------------------- from 1996 you will have issues with that or the still old and unsupported RHEL 4.0 4.9 had the last extra Extended support end last year and rhel4.0 is OLD ---------------------------------------------------- RHEL 4 |(Nahant) |15 February 2005 | kernel 2.6.9-5 ---------------------------------------------------- redhat no longer even supports rhel4.0 what changed right before mutt started having a problem it was not a update -- there have been NONE for YEARS and that begs the question rhel4.0 will have a TON of UNFIXED security holes that were fined in RHEL 4.1 to 4.9 before 4.9 went End of Life are you 100% SURE !!!!! you still "own" the system ??????? and that you have not been pwn'ed |

thanks for your comments my rh4.1 es is is from 2005 I have been using on dell server with dumb terminal No web browsing no incoming email Just outgoing email sending invoices and po's to customers and vender it is working like a charm SSSSSSSSSSsoooooo if it ain't broken........... this problem with mutt popped up right after a hard booth event resulting from a failed battery on our ups battery was replaced and everything is working fine One thing I did not try yet is reinstall mutt I am not exactly a Linux maven (I do windows) I am afraid that uninstalling mutt may have some effect on other components. I need some guidance here and any help is appreciated thanks dory |

the "up2date" repos are no more for rhel4 contact redhat techsupport they can point you ot a old archived version ? maybe but seeing as the only support is the extra ( as in pay extra also ) Extended support for 4.9 ( not 4.0 or 4.1 ) did end , or is about to redhat might not be able to help on reinstalling the version you have so the power died and the ups went "by-by" hard crash did the system run a check on reboot to check the disk ? a config file might have gotten corrupted unfortunately the pre rhel4.5 "up2data" predates my experience yum was backported to rhel4.5 from rhel5 |

John VV caught what I missed and should have caught--that you are using an OS which is not only out-of-date, but also obsolete. In the long run, it would likely be best to back up the contents of your /home/[username] directory to external media, install a contemporary OS (if not RHEL, then CentOS, since you are used to RHEL and CentOS works like RHEL), restore your home directory and reconfigure a new Mutt, and keep up with updates and version changes in the future. If you put /home (the home directories) on a separate partition, it make future OS upgrades much easier. |
I'd like to thank everybody for the help they extended
I decided to take Frankbell and switch to current CentOS Thanks again Dory |
