Re: Email "hangs"


I have installed the SSL and the EMAIL packages. Normal network
activities (like nslookup) seem to work fine. I have configured my
email.conf and set EDITOR=VI. However, when I issue the EMAIL command,
it just hangs, e.g.,

[11:24 AM] # email -V -c ~/.email.conf -t
-- Opened config /cygdrive/c/users/furashg/.email.conf

and then it just hangs there.

This is my .email.conf file

# This is the DEFAULT configuration file for email.
#
# Please CHANGE THE VALUES below to suit your environment.
# Don't forget to set the shell environment variable EDITOR
