Re: mail

The place to start is /var/adm/syslog/mail.log.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Hello!

Check the /var/adm/syslog/mail.log

Re: mail

The logfile is here: /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
Check the queue: /var/spool/mqueue/

Were the messages sent from another machine, or from within accounts on the same machine?

Re: mail

Hi:

'/var/adm/syslog/mail.log' will provide information about the delivery or lack thereof.

Re: mail

Hi!!

As mentioned before the log file will be /var/adm/syslog/mail.log but, did you run newaliases after modifying the aliases file?
