Command line mutt not working
Hi,
We are using SuSE linux 9.0 and want to use command line mutt like the following:
echo " blah blah " |mutt -s "blah blah" a.n.other@xyz.com
Now this is working perfectly fine on some of our servers, but when I recently tried it on a new one(in another network) it is not working.
I have put the appropriate entry in the relayhost entry in the main.cf:
relayhost = [smtp.hstname.edu]
I tested the smtp server above with telnet, and everything seems to be in order there as well. However when I run the mutt command, I get the following messages in /var/log/mail
Aug 9 06:40:03 postfix/smtp[1406]: smtp_parse_destination: [smtp.hstnme.edu] smtp
Aug 9 06:40:03 somlzr postfix/smtp[1406]: fatal: unknown service: smtp/tcp

Aug 9 06:40:04 somlzr postfix/master[1109]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtp pid 1406 exit status 1
Aug 9 06:40:04 somlzr postfix/master[1109]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtp: bad command startup -- throttling
Could you let me know what needs to be done or verified in order for this to work.
many thanks,
Sandeep
