This is a discussion on When sending mail I get: "Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.)" within the Mutt forums in Other Technologies category; I've got a bash shell script file which is executed as a service under root. When executing: /usr/bin/mutt -s "subject" -a report.zip yonatan@il.nlayers.com < /dev/null I get: "Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.)" When this is not ran as a service or from the command line, the message get send and I don't get this error. I also echoed "whoami" which resulted in "root". Please advise....

Default When sending mail I get: "Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.)"

I've got a bash shell script file which is executed as a service under
root.
When executing:

/usr/bin/mutt -s "subject" -a report.zip yonatan@il.nlayers.com <
/dev/null

I get:

"Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.)"

When this is not ran as a service or from the command line, the
message get send and I don't get this error. I also echoed "whoami"
which resulted in "root".

Please advise.

Probably won't help with your current problem, but I'd advise you really not
to run as root. Really. Create another user and use that.

Can't really do that. The script does many other things besides
sending email which require root permissions.
