https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281131 Tim Hogard <thogard@abnormal.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |thogard@abnormal.com --- Comment #7 from Tim Hogard <thogard@abnormal.com> --- I can't repeat this bug. I don't think it is a dma(8) problem but maybe a mail(1) problem. mbox format has a message terminating with two newlines with the first being the last line of text in the message. Messages always start with "From[space][sender][space][date] Can the reporter try this: grep -B1 '^From ' /var/mail/mailbox tail -1 /var/mail/mailbox As a general user, $MAIL can be substitute for /var/mail/mailboxname The line before the From should be a blank line. There should always be an empty line in any mailbox that has any messages. Do the grep after using mail, after sending a new message and after deleting a message to help indicate if it is a dma or mail problem. pkg elm might be useful for looking at the messages as well. For my testing I was using "date | mail root" to create messages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
