Sendmail on Solaris 8

Greetings:

I am trying to configure sendmail on my X86 Solaris 8 machine. The MX record has been setup and I actually see the traffic coming to my mail server when I do a snoop on the interface.

I have configured the /etc/mail/sendmail.cw to the domain mydomain.net.

I have also added mydomain.net to the /etc/relay-domains file, just incase...

A user account has been created on the machine with my name aalavi with home directory / and shell as /bin/false; cause this is an email only account.

I tried creating a mail box in /var/mail/aalavi but the received mail never shows up in the mailbox.

The sendmail daemon is running.

Any pointers will be appreciated.

thanks,

-asim alavi

Thanks Jaky:

Found out that my partition carrying the mail queue was running out of space. Some disk cleaning has solved the problem.
