post the output of postconf -n

Also, test again, and then look at the end of /var/log/mail.log, which may contain clues.

Thanks for your advice.

I'd suggest you look in /home/user_name/Maildir, since this is what you've set home_mailbox to. I assume that your procmail script sent the messages /var/mail/user_name

Thanks for your advice.

Strangely the mail has been received. "$ mail" provided an incorrect message.

Just sent following webmail on yahoo.com

satimis@xyz.com

Both returned immediately. Users NOT found.

fmaster@xyz.com
root@xyz.com
Both NOT rejected. But can't find the mails on respective Maildir/new


Where shall I check? Both "ping xyz.com/ubuntu.xyz.com" work. TIA

Look at your logs

Are satimis and administrator valid linux users or are they aliased to valid users? Did you create the relevant directories for them (Maildir/new, etc)

The message you say wasn't sent looks like a system generated mail, sent to root which I guess is aliased to fmaster.

have a look at /etc/aliases to see what's aliased where

Yes.

It took me hours of working to find out this funny trick.


On running;
$ sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash username

It creates an user A/C together with home directory but W/O Maildir. After sending a mail to this user on the same PC, Intranet, Maildir including subdirectories, cur,new,tmp, will be created automatically with the arriving mail delivered on /Maildir/new/ directory.

$ cat /etc/aliases

# Added by installer for initial user
root:   satimis
Shall I add "fmaster and administrator" manually on this file?

I'll NOT create Maildir for root because I won't make root receiving mails.

Thanks

As I said, look at you logs (on your server, not the return message to gmail)

You can add other aliases to aliases, but isn't fmaster a user?

Once you add them, don't forget to run

postalias /etc/aliases

Yes, fmaster is an user.

The clock immediately changed from current time to;
