Mail Heading to dead.letter
Whenever I send any email from my normal user account, it goes straight to dead.letter, even if I attempt to mail a local user. When I try to send mail as root, it simply does not send. I have a very basic, updated FreeBSD 7.0 installation. Mail has not worked since I installed 7.0 about 42 days ago. I am able to ping internet addresses as well as well as resolve domain names. At the very least, can someone point me in the correct direction to start debugging this? I have read relevant sections in the FreeBSD handbook as well as sendmail manpages, etc. Thanks in advance for any help! -Andy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
