While executing mutt I am getting a random error:

Error sending message, child exited 70 (Internal error).
Mutt[13]:10786 Memory fault(core dump)

Can anyone shed some light on this?
The is a core file left behind.

TIA,
Jeff H

Happening every time?

What version of mutt -- maybe try a more recent one.

I see this when the MTA (in my case, generally msmtp) tries to connect
to a smart host and errors out, usually because of an authentication
problem. Mutt, for some reason, can't handle the error return.

I've seen this too when there are in general problems communicating
with the remote smarthost or badhost. Things such as the following can
cause it :

1) Unix server isn't allowed to relay to the smarthost
2) Unix server can't resolve the name / IP for the smarthost

etc etc

I hope this helps.
