What operating system are you using exactly? - " Fedora 8 "

I'm using mutt for sending a mail with attachment. It doesn't gave any error and also the message is not yet recieved.

" mutt -s "hi subject" mail_id@sample.com -a sample.pdf < message_mail.txt "

the message_mail.txt contain the boby of the mail

If you telnet localhost 25 do you get a greeting banner identifying your MTA? (Type quit and press enter to terminate.)

Does mailq -v print anything?

It can't find a host named fedoratest and so can't deliver to it.

Can you resolve it from the command line? Look into /etc/resolv.conf and related stuff. If it's a local, static host, maybe you just want to put its IP address in /etc/hosts
