Hmm. So, what next?
Obvious, as this is linux: check the log. :-)
/var/log/mail*
That logfile contains lines such as: Dec 28 15:31:01 barrowhillfarm postfix/pickup[9336]: EEA665EF8D: uid=0 from=<root> Dec 28 15:31:01 barrowhillfarm postfix/cleanup[9337]: EEA665EF8D: message- id=<20091228153101.EEA665EF8D@linux.local> Dec 28 15:31:02 barrowhillfarm postfix/qmgr[32358]: EEA665EF8D: from=<root@linux.local>, size=447, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 28 15:31:02 barrowhillfarm postfix/local[9340]: EEA665EF8D: to=<bob@linux.local>, orig_to=<root>, relay=local, delay=0.22, delays=0.11/0.01/0/0.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) Dec 28 15:31:02 barrowhillfarm postfix/qmgr[32358]: EEA665EF8D: removed so it seems that root@linux.local is sending mail to bob@linux.local :) However, /var/spool/mail/ is an empty directory - no files, no subdirectories - so where is the local mail going? Thanks for your help and advice.
