After doing this, "mailx" said "No mail > for root". /var/spool/mail/log/logfile contains the following: /var/spool/mail should be created by the base disks and isn't (some long time ago it was decided that the MTA packages shouldn't include the mail spool, and I still agree with this decision). I have reassigned this bug report to the base disks. What version of the 0.93R6 disks were you using ? I reported this problem on the 23rd of September (as part of an omnibus base disk installation report, Bug#1475), and it was discussed on debian-devel again on the 26th of September, when I wrote: ] My bug report #1475 explains this problem with Smail. In the 16th ] September base disks there were three separate problems each of which ] was enough to break Smail: ] 1. No /etc/host.conf, so hostname --fqdn didn't work. ] 2. Machines with no FQDN have a spurious dot in their own /etc/hosts ] entry, so that hostname --fqdn returns a malformatted hostname (with ] an extraneous trailing dot). ] 3. /var/spool/mail didn't exist. ] See my message for details. I trust that these problems - especially the lack of the mail spool - will be fixed soon if they haven't already received attention !
