1) What were you trying to do?
Send mail using nmh (using comp, but any method fails).
2) What happened?
comp
What now? s
/usr/lib/mh/post: 13: exec: /usr/lib/mh/nmh/post: not found
send: message not delivered to anyone
3) What should have happened?
It should have sent mail.
/usr/lib/mh/post is a symlink:
ls -l /usr/lib/mh/*post*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 6 16:27 /usr/lib/mh/post -> post.debathena
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Sep 29 2013 /usr/lib/mh/post.debathena -> spost
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 170440 Feb 28 2018 /usr/lib/mh/post.debathena-orig
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 388 Feb 28 2018 /usr/lib/mh/spost
to a bash script which references /usr/lib/mh/nmh/post which does not exist.
If I put:
postproc: /usr/lib/mh/post.debathena-orig
in my .mh_profile, sending works again as long as I put a From: line
in my mail manually.
4) Does this problem happen only on this workstation, or other workstations?
It happens on all dialups I've used in the last few days (probably
coinciding with the upgrade). Haven't been to campus to try a cluster
machine.
5) If you were following instructions, please include the URL or a
description of the documentation:
(e.g. a "problem set for 18.03" or http://ist.mit.edu)
