It works for me but I'm no expert.
Do you have /usr/bin/mail? maybe scripts are trying to use that.
On my box /usr/bin/mail is a link to /usr/sbin/sendmail (postfix's),
but
I suspect I may possibly have made that link myself. Not sure.

Hello,
I have a working stand-alone Debian Unstable system with a DSL
internet connection. It happily receives email from my ISP's POP
server using getmail. I have no problem sending mail with postfix,
configured for a smarthost. What doesn't work, and hasn't for a while
is loca
Or, at least hopefully it's solved... :)
had to be running fetchmail as root, as several people pointed out to
me.
Also had to add a couple of extra lines to the config file so that it
would not reject non-matching addresses.
final .fetchmailrc looks something like this:
#cat .fetcmailrc

Are you running fetchmail as root, as the procmail manpage suggests?
Alright...got a question...probably has an easy answer, but it's got me
stumped
I have a virtual hosting system set up; all of the email to my machine
is put into a single user mail account at a fulltime host. I then grab
this mail using fetchmail and, theoretically, it should be delivered t
I've just installed a fresh slink box, and selected the "Basic" profile
during installation.
I can't deliver mail locally (exim is installed), and there are no files
in /var/spool/mail.
Sending an email to a valid user has no effect - it just sits in the
mailq, frozen.
What can be wrong with it?

/usr/doc/procmail,
and I have to admit that I'm not an expert when it comes
to email ;-(
According to the docs one can install procmail as the
local mail delivery agent (MDA), and one can get rid of
the procmail entry in the .forward file. But in order
to do so one needs to remove the curren

Well, you've certainly confused me. :)

Hi,
There are a lot of things about mail delivery that I'm unsure of right
now. Having put more time into thinking about exactly what I want, I've
become less certain about my configuration needs.
Originally I thought it best to masquerade globally, as this is not
email client specific, which
