Where's my mail???

[Michael Loftis]

MY first and most obvious suggestion is to check your logs.  In particular 
/var/log/maillog as it's called on RH.  See what they say about the 
disposition of the daemons and the mail, and go from there.  Unix does a 
good job of telling you whats going on if you check log files, unlike 
Windows.
