My problem: It appears that once I configure my network device mail won't deliver. I've been playing with FreeBSD at home and work trying to learn Unix. I've never really cared much about the mail system. Until recently I've just been finding my way around, learning commands and how to configure and install programs. Anyhow my play machine at work won't deliver mail yet both of my home machines, configured similarly to work, deliver just fine. I can run the following: # mail root and my home machines root accounts get mail yet work says :no such file /var/mail/root when I type # mail I figured I had just jacked something with my work machine and not caring too much decided reinstall from scratch. To my dismay after setting everything up mail would still not work. I started over again yet this time when it asked to configure a Network interface device I didn't. As luck would have it mail worked. I rebooted and still worked. Yet after I ran /stand/sysinstall and configured network interfaces mail would not work. All I want is to have local users be able to send mail to each other locally on this machine. What am I doing wrong?
