Can send but not receive email
Hi,

One of the users in our company can send but not receive email. We are using SENDMAIL in conjunction with procmail. The funny thing is that all his sent email is in his /var/spool/mail but the email client does not pick anything up! He is using IMAP.

Anyone see have any ideas?

You do a quick check on the following:

/etc/resolv.conf
domain xxx.com
server [dns resolver]

/etc/nsswitch.conf
for the hosts line:
hosts: files dns

Is he able to browse the web normally? If so, then his DNS lookups are working ok. What does the IMAP server show for his account? Any errors? Mailbox too large?
