dovecot - Oct 2012 - Where'd the Mail Go?

Hi;
I ran this:
echo "Hello me" | mail -s "Dovecot test" $USER
then created a bash script:
for mbox in /var/mail/$USER /var/spool/mail/$USER ~/mbox ~/mail/* ~/*; do
  grep -q "Dovecot test" $mbox && echo "mbox: $mbox"
done
grep -q "Dovecot test" ~/Maildir/new/* 2>/dev/null && echo
"Maildir: ~/Maildir"
and ran it but couldn't find where the mail went. I checked
/var/mail/my_user_name and it wasn't there, either. How do I find it?
TIA,
John

I'm sorry to tell you this is rather off-topic on the dovecot list,
since the mail is routed and delivered by your MTA.

In the logfiles of your MTA (mail transport agent) you should find
hints where the mail went. 

/var/log/postfix/...
/var/log/exim/...

Regards
Daniel
