Hi,
I think its problem of pine ....
how did you check that mail is in queue? mailq ...
make sure this links are created .. as few mail program looks for
sendmail
mv /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.old # ignore errors
mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.old # ignore errors
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
and try ....
If still problem ... in user's home directory you will find .pinerc ...
rename or delete this file and try
Even pine doesn't support maildir format ... there is patch for pine to
support qmail ....
regards
Santosh Pasi
