luofeiyu · 08-19-2015, 03:29 AM

There are two users : root and debian8 in my system.
The domain name is pengsir.hfi

I fount that root can't receive any email sent to it.
In the console of user debian8 to input:

Code:

    echo 'test' | mail -s 'test' root@localhost

In the console of user root to input:

Code:

    mail
    No mail for root
    cat /var/log/mail.log

Aug 19 15:47:49 pengsir postfix/qmgr[3770]: 9F84FF829F: removed

Why the email was removed?

ehco? tyop?

Try

Code:

mail -s LQRocks root < /dev/null

then check root mail.

root@pengsir:/home/debian8# su debian8
debian8@pengsir:~$ mail -s LQRocks root < /dev/null
Null message body; hope that's ok
debian8@pengsir:~$ su root
Password:
root@pengsir:/home/debian8# mail
No mail for root

try

Code:

mail -s LQRocks root@localhost < /dev/null

or how about from root to debian8? w\or w\out @localhost?

I notice that you have several MTAs installed?

You only need one. I choose postfix, personally.
