Re: /var/mail
It should be working.
First check if the access permissions are correct.
it should have mode 755 and group ID "mail":
drwxrwxr-x 2 bin mail 1024 May 24 15:00 /var/mail
then you can test it by sending a mail to a user:
check the dir again.
good luck

Re: /var/mail
ps -ef | grep sendmail
You should see something like:
root 1361 1 0 May 18 ? 0:05 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25
If you don't then do a more on /etc/mail/sendmail.pid and use the command in that file to restart to daemon. Should be something like:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m
Hope this helps.

Re: /var/mail
Also, Pedro had one typo in his message - permissions on the /var/mail directory should be 775, not 755 (the example he showed is correct).

Re: /var/mail
I even made sure I had the latest patch of sendmail for my 11.00 OS.
Any other ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Re: /var/mail
If the system load is high above 8. Sendmail refuses to send or recieve mail. This parameter can be changed in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Re: /var/mail
Both QueueLA and RefuseLA are not set; commented out.
This is the default from HP.
Anyone else?
Thanks!

Re: /var/mail
Are the users local on this system or are they on some other NIS client system. Just curious, cause after all these suggestions the mail is not working .
What happens, as root on this system you type mail userid. type in some text , hit return then a period (like .)

Re: /var/mail
Do this (in order)
Window 1:
tail -f /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
Window 2:
As root
sendmail -v -d0.1 -d11.1 you@yourdomain.com < /dev/null
substitute a local, fully qualified e-mail address for you@yourdomain.com
This command says
run sendmail
-v verbose
-d0.1 print version information
-d11.1 trace delivery
Post the results of both the tail and the sendmail diagnostic.
