I use RedHat9
I use postfix ( MTA), fetchmail for fetching mails from my ISP, imap and ipop3. I can send and receive mails from the internet, but I can't send mails
between the local users. If I want to send mail between the local users, these mails go out in the internet.
Why can't I send messages between the local users?

I made 4 user opstina, gubak, krabok, fetchmail. If I try to send message between users by command "mail username"(for example I login as gubak and I send message to opstina in that case "mail opstina"), the message is sent but I don't know where it is. If I check the mail (I log in as opstina and type the command "mail") the answer is "no mail for opstina".
This process works if I login as root and I send message to root.

you have to email it to a local email. not something at like user@mydomain.net. You have to set up a local domain in /etc/hosts file for your mail server and send it to user@myserver .

have a look at the mailer logfile. also try to send it to user@machine. what's your mailer(mta)?

sl mritch.

I use Postfix

I've tried more time to set up the mailing between local users, but no result.

Is everybody know a command which checks the local mailing?

How can I see the route of the mail in the local system?

I use RedHat9,

I have been a problem for a week, and I am out of idea.
RedHat9 have more users. Every user can send and receive messages from the internet, but these users can't send messages to each other.
This is the part of the mail log file:

OPSTINA is a local user. COKA.CO.YU is my domain. In above example OPSTINA sent a message to OPSTINA and the message is goes through the relay (mail.tippnet.co.yu) to the internet.

But why????????

Why can't OPSTINA get this message?
Can everybody help me?

I think all the linux user already know that my local mailing isn't work.

I have no procmail in my system.

Is it problem or not?

I did it but in doesn't work.
Have you any more idea?

I use Postfix, fetchmail, imap
I have no procmail
Every sent mail (including the mails which are sent to local users) goes out to the internet through the relayhost.
For example I send two mais:

localuser@mydomain
remote@hotmail.com

Both the mails goes out to the internet through the relayhost.
The problem is that the localuser doesn't get his mail.

How does mailserver know which mail is sent to local user and which mail is sent to the remote address?
