Re: Gnus ignores exit value of `sendmail-program'

If for some reason /usr/sbin/sendmail got truncated, you'd lose mail until you happened to notice this. Mutt for example bails out with: "Error sending message, child exited 127 (exec error)" Other MUAs behave in a similar fashion. In any case, when I tested Simon's one-line patch, I was testing by introducing a typo into my TMDA outgoing filter. Something also caught by other MUAs. e.g, under Mutt: "Error sending message, child exited 1 ()" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/jasonrm/cvs/tmda/dist/bin/tmda-inject", line 374, in ? main() File "/home/jasonrm/cvs/tmda/dist/bin/tmda-inject", line 340, in main outfilter.read(Defaults.FILTER_OUTGOING) File "/home/jasonrm/cvs/tmda/dist/TMDA/FilterParser.py", line 146, in read self.__parse(fp) File "/home/jasonrm/cvs/tmda/dist/TMDA/FilterParser.py", line 180, in __parse raise exception TMDA.FilterParser.ParsingError: Filter contains parsing errors: /home/jasonrm/.tmda/filters/outgoing [line 13]: "oops": unrecognized filter rule -- (http://tmda.sourceforge.net/)
