I have problems with mush 7.1.2 since we upgraded our SunOS to 4.1. Whenever i try to send mail the sendmail process hangs for a couple of minutes and then i get the message: client sendmail[pid]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: net hang reading from host: Connection timed out The strange thing is that this worked perfectly under 4.0.3. So do anyone knows why this happens and what can be done about it. Right now I'm forced to use mailtool :-( so i would really appreciate a solution to this problem. Another strange thing is that it worked for internal mail, but not external when i used the version compiled under 4.0.3 but when i recompiled it, it didn't work at all !! I have tried looking through the config.h and Makefile and some other files without coming up with anything that could solve my problem. Is the problem in SunOS or in mush or both? -- !Thomas Grennefors ! proud member off Armaments 2:9-21 !Ericsson Telecom,Karlstad !

I have founde the reason for this problem and a workaround.
The last line in my .signature wasn't a blank line so sendmail never got the
end of mail command, beacuse it ended up in the signature line instead.. This is
still a bug but there is a simple workaround. Be sure that the last line in your
.signature is a blank (empty) line. I hope this bug will be fixed in the next
release.

Be sure that the last } line in your .signature is a blank (empty) line. I hope this bug will be } fixed in the next release. The last line in your .signature does NOT need to be a blank line. However, it is true that your .signature must end with a newline character. (A blank line is normally delimited by two consecutive newlines, which is *not* required.) The easy test is to run "vi .signature" and see if you get the message "Incomplete last line". Emacs not only doesn't warn you of missing newlines, but it also displays the trailing newline in such a way that it appears that there is an extra blank line at the end of the file. (This is not an anti-emacs flame. I just want to explain where I think the "last line must be blank" idea is coming from.) You're right, though, that mush should notice the lack of a trailing newline and do something sensible. -- Bart Schaefer schaefer@cse.ogi.edu

The "point" can be placed after the last character in the buffer, even if that character is a newline. -- James R.
