Hello,

I am trying to use mailutils for local mail delivery in a gentoo server. I used to have installed bsd-mailx for the same purpose. I thought that mail is used the same way as the equivalent software bsd-mailx. If i run /mail/ then i get No mail for user, but i can see in the spool that there are email in the spooler(/var/mail/$USER). Do i have to configure anything else?

My configuration is the following:

/poseidon ~ # mu --show-config-options//
//VERSION=2.99.98     - Version of this package//
//SYSCONFDIR=/etc     - System configuration directory//
//MAILSPOOLDIR=/var/spool/mail/     - Default mail spool directory//
//SCHEME=mbox     - Default mailbox type//
//LOG_FACILITY=mail     - Default syslog facility//

//ENABLE_MAILDIR     - Maildir mail storage support//
//ENABLE_SMTP     - SMTP protocol support//

Any suggestion why mail doesn't show me the mails from /var/spool/mail/$USER?
