Is this still the issue of root not receiving mails sent to root? You said you went with my proposal #3 and re-enabled IPv6 - what happened after that? Were you or were you not able to send an email to root?

So, I still do not have rootmail. I enabled ipv6 and now when I send mail I do not have any feedback, so no error message. But the mail does not arrive in the /var/mail/root folder.
To make progress, you need to look at what happens to such a mail then.
The mail log will tell you. I would expect to see something very similar
to this:
2017-09-27T12:13:54+02:00 aznavour pickup[15929]: 46FD76109A: uid=0
from=<root>
2017-09-27T12:13:54+02:00 aznavour cleanup[16138]: 46FD76109A:
message-id=<20170927101354.46FD76109A@mail.elixseri.com>
2017-09-27T12:13:54+02:00 aznavour qmgr[15928]: 46FD76109A:
from=
Also entropia does not receive. But...I found out the third user receives and received also the error diagnostic code for entropia:
(expanded from <root>):
I guess you have aliased root to entropia? That would explain why no mails are delivered to root.
cannot update mailbox /var/mail/entropia for user entropia. cannot open file: Permission denied
[snip]
Now let us see the difference in permissions....
entropia@roadrunner:/var/mail> cd /var/mail entropia@roadrunner:/var/mail> dir totale 112 -rw-r--r-- 1 connectix users 11573 27 set 11.34 connectix -rw-r--r-- 1 mercurio users 0 27 lug 21.27 entropia -rw-rwx---+ 1 root root 97541 23 set 00.57 root -rw-rw---- 1 tss mail 0 10 set 09.41 tss
WTF, both users have same permissions. And why does entropia not receive mail but connectix..does. And root doesn't????? And why doe I have user tss?? What is user tss, I googled and did not find any answer. Still more puzzled.
entropia does not receive any mail because the 'entropia' directory is owned by another user 'mercurio'. connectix does receive any mail because the 'connectix' directory is owned by 'connectix'. I don't know where user 'tss' may have come from. I suggest you pursue that later. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
