I'm trying to set up sendmail on a Ubuntu server. I haven't messed around with the config files, made sure they were good to go, and ran sendmailconfig. Everything seemed to install and configure nicely, and the "mail" command seems to work.
However, the mail is not delivering. What I've been trying out for testing is something along the lines of:
(logged in as root)
Code:
mail user1
(write message)
Then I'll log into the account user1, check my mail, and nothing seems to be there. I've given it time for the queue to run, but still nothing.
What am I doing wrong? I suspect it has something to do with adding users as aliases, but I'm a little lost right now. I don't have a whole lot of experience in Unix and all help is appreciated.
**EDIT**
Furthermore, when I use ps as the root user, sendmail does not appear, even though I ran it as:
Code:
sendmail -bd -q20m
which should run it as a background daemon, right?
Sorry, I'm very new to all this
