- On an SGI machine running IRIX 4.0.4 I have a peculiar
- mail problem I don't understand. All users can send/receive
- Internet mail just fine, except one user klein. He can send
- mail out, but incoming mail bounces. A 'mail -v' to him
- shows 'mail: Can't send to klein' and bounces it.
-
- A finger looks ok, I have the same sendmail.cf working
- on more than 6 other SGI's, I've rebuilt it anyway,
- and I've removed and readded klein as a user. He tells
- me that if a .forward file is there to someone else,
- it works. I checked the aliases file and there are
- none for him. He has no .mailrc file. I have checked
- /usr/mail for a klein file (none), and checked
- /usr/spool/mqueue for any files (none).
-
- /bin/mail is exactly the same, including protections and
- ownership as at another SGI machine
- that I just added a klein account to and it receives
- mail just fine.
-
- What can be wrong on the one machine?
-
- Thanks, John
