mailx undeliverable

hello! this is my first post in this forum Smilie

when sending mail from unix, using the mailx facility, does it save a copy of the sent mail anywhere on the server? Or if the mail is not delivered to the recipient, does it write a notification to the user about the status of the mail?


thanks!
