I running Linux Mint Debian Edition tracking testing and have started a cron job that will send something to the root mailbox. Mint has heirloom and exim4 installed. However, mail was getting nothing.
In Fedora and FreeBSD,
I can receive mail from daemons.
And if my scripts scheduled in crontab go wrong,

I want mail just being sent from root@example.com, however when I change this section:
myhostname = mail.example.com
mydomain

I have an Ubuntu server running postfix. It is not the mail server for my domain.
Whenever a cron job runs for root, the output is sent to root@mydomain.com (that is, mail is not delivered locally, but sent to mydomain.com's mail server).
Hi
I read about mail in linux and I installed mailutils to send mail in command lines.
at first when I pressed ctrl+D to end the mail body, mail text ended. but the problem was that it didn't send mails at all. now moreover than that problem, even ctrl+D also does not work and after ctrl+D, I must use ctrl+C to end the mail.
