Sorry, I am not very experienced with this.... I installed pine on a centos 4 machine, and noticed that root had no mail. I checked on var/spool/mail .... nothing for root Went to regular user account, opened pine and sent root a message. Still nothing. Reinstalled sendmail. Checked to make sure its alive. Still no-go. Any ideas on how to fix this?

There should be a record of any sending/receiving/delivery in that file: grep root /var/log/maillog If that fails, there''s a slight chance it got recorded in the main system log: grep root /var/log/messages --Paul Heinlein <heinlein@madboa.com>
