We have a user complaining that they're not getting mail in /var/mail/
If I cd /var/mail, I don't see a mailbox there. Should the mail messages be creating a file in this /var/mail area? If so, could I be seeing a permssions issue with /var/mail possibly?
Any help, greatly appreciated!

Re: /var/mail/mbox issues
How do I go about sending it to the user's local Unix System mailbox in /var/mail?

Re: /var/mail/mbox issues
if the mail gets forwarded to another address, there won't be a local file for it:
Check for ~usernam/.forward

Re: /var/mail/mbox issues
Simply put the user's local login in the line that sends the mail. You'll also want to make sure that there isn't a ".forward" file in the user's home directory and that the user's login isn't aliased in the /etc/mail/aliases file.
