Run netstat -an|grep :512 and verify its output. It should display something similar to udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:512 0.0.0.0:* 2. Is the delivery agent able to reach the IP address comsat listens on? The IP address in question is shown in the output from [1]. 3. Does your tty have the `execute' bit on? Run ls -l `tty` and verify its output. If the answer on all three questions above is `yes', send some mail to your account and watch if the notification message appears on the console. If it does not, than your MDA does not send notifications at all.
