I have in my /etc/aliases the text "postmaster: root". I sent an email to postmas...@mydomain.com. I checked the log files of the server but do not see any indication of any email being received. Would there be a log of mail reveived in mail.log? I checked /root/Mail and the directory is empty. I checked /var/mail/ which is also empty. Where could my mail have gone? In addition to creating an alias do I also have to create a mailbox for postmaster? If that is the case how do I use maildir to create a mailbox? I googled it but I can not find any indication of how to properly create a new mailbox.
Thanks!
