I am having quite an interesting issue with Mailutils. When I run command `mail` or `mailx` I get the following error:
Code: Select all
:~$ mail
mail: /etc/mailutils.conf:24.1-16: syntax error
mail: Operation failed
Code: Select all
1 Default .mailrc# Default .mailrc
2 # Set prompt string
3 set prompt="& "
4 # Indentprefix is used for quoting messages
5 set indentprefix="> "
6 # Assume 20 lines per screen
7 set screen=20
8 # Ask for CC before sending the message
9 set askcc
10 # Use '.' to terminate composition of messages
11 set dot
12 # Emulate mailx's behaviour
13 #set mailx
14 # Preserve aborted messages in 'dead.letter'
15 set save appenddeadletter
16 # Hold read or saved messages in the system mailbox
17 set hold
18 # Display only these headers:
19 retain from to subject cc reply-to date
20 # Uncomment and set this to the list of your email addresses:
21 #alt none@none.org
22 # Set sendmail to the directory mandated by the FHS
23 set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
24 # End of .mailrc

Excuse my noobity, but is `mailutils.conf:24.1-16: syntax error` indeed pointing me that the error is in line 24, column from 1 to 16?
BTW, I did a quoted Google search to try and catch this error, but surprisingly found nothing.
