sendmail abrahams@acm.org this is a test message .
This is not likely to succeed, as it is not a correct sendmail call. The mail header is missing and even if the mail is delivered to the receiving MTA, that receiver is likely to drop it. Try: sendmail -t -v From: <mbox@example.com> To: <mbox@example.com> Subject: test test . -t takes sender and recipient from the email headers. -v will cause Postfix to email a mail delivery status report to your local account, too. You can also use mail(1) to test sending, without any further configuration it uses sendmail and constructs a correct mail header. echo test | mail -v -s subject recipient@example.com
How can I track down the reason the mail isn't arriving?
/var/log/mail*, depending on your syslog configuration.
