6.3.139. sendmail_wait

Type: number
Default: 0

Specifies the number of seconds to wait for the sendmail process to finish before giving up and putting delivery in the background.

Mutt interprets the value of this variable as follows:

>0      number of seconds to wait for sendmail to finish before continuing
0       wait forever for sendmail to finish
<0      always put sendmail in the background without waiting

Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child process will be put in a temporary file. If there is some error, you will be informed as to where to find the output.
