Lost Mail??
Hi All, Is it possible to tell sendmail where to store new incoming mail. Im using sendmail along with fetchmail and after my mail is retrieved from my isp, I cant seem to find it. I use mutt to read my mail and have mutt looking in /var/spool/mail/neutec but there is never any mail there. Fetchmail informs me of receiving new mail so Im pretty sure its on my machine somewhere. Has anyone ever had this and if so what needs to be changed to fix it? Thanks Guys

I assume the same would happen if sendmail didn't have 'localhost' in $=w (though I've never tested this).

Fetchmail/exim will throw your mail away silently if you don't have
'localhost' in your local_domains. I assume the same would happen if

What's in your /etc/mail/local-host-names file?

Might I suggest that you go there and pickup any messages that you may have missed or that are of interest to you. There is a pretty good search facility at the bottom of the page. This list is busy enough without repeating mail.
