If you are trying to send mail the root account qmail will not let you, it
sends it to a mail folder in the /var/qmail tree. Try sending an e-mail to
another user account. You can setup qmail to deliver root mail to another
user by using the .qmail-root file and putting your e-mail address in it.
If you want to see if the root mail was at least delivered to the alias
mail folder, cd /var/qmail/alias and you should have amongst other files a
Mailbox or Maildir file (depending on which method you are using). You
should be able to view the Mailbox or Maildir with a text editor or with
the more or less pager less filename.ext or more filename.ext .
Take Care,

Hi Dale,
I ran the telnet 127.0.0.1 25 from another account as you suggested.
reb is an existing account. The telnet session acted correctly but
nothing shows up in the Mailbox file. Here's the session:
main: {2} telnet 127.0.0.1 25
