Hello,
For some reason unknown, I had a problem with the .lock dir in the
.msmtp.queue and as a result I couldn’t send email any more with
mutt.
I don’t know if that bug report belongs more to mutt or to msmtp…
any feedback or ideas welcome.
# Replicate the bug:
Have a unusable .lock directory in your msmtp queue (I have no
idea how I did that)
Send an email with Mutt
Get “Email sent”
msmtpq is actually not handling the email at all, not adding
it to the queue (msmtp-queue says there’s no email in the
queue) and not sending it to msmtp
# Expected behaviour:
Have a unusable .lock directory in your msmtp queue (I have no
idea how I did that)
Send an email with Mutt
Get an error feedback
Suggest to delete the lockdir
# Solution?
In the msmtpq scripts README it suggests to have
set sendmail_wait = -1 #send in the background
Maybe this should be changed?
