sun mail

All,
How can I tell if mail is running. Im sending emails but I dont get any error messages in /var/adm/messages, nor do i receive the email. Is there another log where mail messages are stored?

Mail running and mail working are 2 different things.
You can check if sendmail is running. If it is. mail is running.
You can check /var/spool/mqueue. If any files are there, and if sendmail is running, then there's probably an issue with your configuration.
