There were issues for many folks with the merge of bin and sbin. The result is that binaries aren't found as they should be. Mutt's default for $sendmail uses /usr/sbin/sendmail. You can check the value in your mutt, via `:set ?sendmail` and then verify the path exists. It is likely a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mta which is then a symlink to something like /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix. I just installed postfix and mutt in a Fedorda 42 container and mutt reports: sendmail="usr/bin/sendmail -oem -oi" which seems to be entirely broken. You may have to set that manually in your muttrc in addition to fixing the symlinks to the sendmail binary, if they're broken. I don't see that anywhere in the "Common Issues" section of the forum, but I know there were multiple posts here and on the devel list about it. It's hard to understand why it's not there, as there were more than a few issues related to the bin/sbin merge. -- Todd
