[opensuse] Local mail on 11.2
Hi all, It does not appear that local mail on a new install of 11.2 is working. The main reason I want this is to have root's messages sent to me. I selected this option during the installation and /etc/aliases contains the line root: don That was all that I recall doing with previous versions, but it does not appear to be working this time. I've been using kmail and zero messages have shown up over the last week. As a test at the command line I just tried don@linux-ath64:~> mail don Subject: A test This is a test . EOT So as I understand it a message should have been sent. But then don@linux-ath64:~> mail No mail for don I really don't know much about how to configure this - it always "just worked" before. Any suggestions? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think it was already discussed this week - /etc/postfix/main.cf line 423 has home_mailbox = Maildir/ I suggest you comment that out, but I don't know if other applications might expect to find your mail in /home/don/Maildir. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I usually follow the list closely, but I sometimes skip over threads dealing with mail servers as I've never had to set one up and mail is one of those things that has always seemed to just work. But I should have checked the archives before asking here.
/etc/postfix/main.cf
line 423 has
home_mailbox = Maildir/
I suggest you comment that out, but I don't know if other applications might expect to find your mail in /home/don/Maildir.

Thanks for your help. It seems to be working now. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
