Subject:   Is the "mail -u" option broken under 3.3 Release?
Message-ID:  <000d01bf1b42$789845e0$d402a8c0@tse.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
On a freshly installed 3.3R machine, I create a user called mytest

From root, I do a "mail mytest". I then check /var/mail and see the mytest
mail file is there waiting.

If I then do a "mail -u mytest", it says there is no mail for the user. But,
if I log into the machine as mytest it says I have mail and the mail command
retrieves it.

Is this brokenness, a "feature", or operator error???? In all responses,
please cc me at jlwest@tseinc.com as I'm not currently subscribed to the
list.

Thanks in advance!

Jay West
