Nay, the MTA is not broken on systemd systems. It works out of the box, as always. Maybe, just maybe, you have to just run YaST mail module just once, in simple mode, accepting defaults (and not configuring fetchmail in there). But this has been the same for decades.
I agree, I spoke too soon on that because he already said he WAS getting his email except for his INBOX. Given that, I think the problem is in him trying to use maildir format for his inbox. That's non-standard and likely to cause problems. I am all but certain sendmail doesn't support that and think it would be unlikely for postfix to support that for '/V/S/M'...
Different format and different place. Both problems.
But he hasn't answered back for a while, so maybe he succumbed to sleep? Saw his 1st email this morning at 7am -- hadn't even been to sleep yet. (I don't sleep regular hours and sometimes not at all... really helps my concentration....NOT).
I know that feeling O:-)
Instead of beating around the bush, lets have a good look at logs, ok? :-)
Logs? he's on systemd -- aren't the logs in binary somewhere -- if they aren't cleared? I.e. some systemd proponents thought logging wasn't that necessary and that they could be tossed each boot for most users...so he may have to go generate some before we can read them.
But openSUSE folks filter down some of those things, and thus we still have traditional syslog by default :-)
Anyway, have to wait for him to respond (poor him, he has larry, curly and moe performing surgery on his email...!)...
