ssmtp and mutt

#1 06-25-2007, 07:50 AM

I have just compiled and setup mutt:

andrew@ilium:~$ mutt -v
Mutt 1.5.16 (2007-06-09)
[....]
System: Linux 2.6.15-28-386 (i686)
ncurses: ncurses 5.5.20051010 (compiled with 5.5)

I am using ssmtp to send mail which is working well but is it possible
to see the workings of ssmtp while sending? With slrn I specified a -v
option and I could watch the 'send' in a terminal window but this does
not work with mutt.

I find it a little off-putting to sit and watch 'sending .....'

Turns out it cannot be done. I guess you cannot have a budget MTA and
complain about lack of features :-)
