When testing reciving mail as documented in TEST.receive, I follow
the steps as follows but when I log in to the user's account and type
the '$mail' command I receive "no mail for user" . . .
Quoting TEST.receive here is not useful; all we need to know is that the
telnet session was successful.
My original message follows:
In testing my senmail config, I follow the steps documented in
TEST.deliver with the following results:
1. When I send to a local user from the root account via the "echo to: me |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" command,
I see the success message in the /var/loq/qmail dir log file. But, when I log
into the machine as that user and type the mail command, the response is " no
mail for user".
Probably because mail is looking in the wrong place (since you state
below that you are using ~/Maildir/ delivery). Or, it might not have
been delivered; what do the logs say?
2. When I send to my hotmail account via "echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject", account I see an empty message in my hotmail
account. But when I send to my account at my employer (at work) from my new
qmail box at home (on separate domain)via the " echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" command, I don't receive the test message from my
lotus notes client (at work).
Again, is it still in the queue? What do the logs say?
This is probably the answer to #2 but I'm not sure: I can traceroute from
the qmail box to 'hotmail.com' but the traceroute to 'candle.com' fails to
finish. All I see is a repeated "***".
No, this just means one of the routers/firewalls along the way filters
out ICMP packets.
Prior to running the test, I converted to Maildir from mailbox and
changed the rc file to reflect this as well as run:
%maildirmake $HOME/Maildir AND
%maildirmake $HOME/Maildir in existing user's directory
Eh?
In any case, "mail" is about as primitive an MUA as you could find.
You're better off using ls & cat -- especially with maildirs! (Which
you will need for POP anyway.)
