Bug#1518: smail setup(?) problem on 0.93r6 install (fwd)
PACKAGE: smail
VERSION: 3.1.29.1-13
In the smail postinst prompting after initial 0.93r6 install, I
selected "local only" (option 4?) and postmaster to root ("none"?).
I didn't have smail send a test message, but later used mailx to
send a message to root. After doing this, "mailx" said "No mail
for root". /var/spool/mail/log/logfile contains the following:
